Bristol-based pianist Jim Blomfield is the guest of BMJ Collective for our August mid-month early- start gig. Known for his versatility and musical sensitivity, he has worked across jazz, Afro- Cuban, Latin, rock, funk and contemporary music. He is widely recognised as one of the UK’s leading Latin jazz and salsa pianists, bringing a strong rhythmic understanding and stylistic authenticity to Afro-Cuban and Latin music contexts. BMJ Collective gigs have become regular monthly events, each with a different guest musician. In a review of last month’s gig (with guest Fabienne Ambuehl), Jazz Mann wrote “as I have previously observed, this is a series of events that continues to punch well above its weight”. Expect nothing less than a very enjoyable evening!
