If you’re in the mood for a slow evening, well-dressed people, and live jazz, this is one to book early. Blue Note returns to Dubai Opera on April 30 to celebrate International Jazz Day with a one-night live show. It’s one of those events you feel lucky to get into. The first edition was sold out, and tickets for this one won’t stay around for long.
Blue Note, the jazz label founded in 1939, is behind some of the most influential jazz recordings. This special evening brings that sound to the stage with a new lineup.
What to expect from the event? The star of the show is Peter Long. Known for his work at Ronnie Scott’s jazz club in London, he will now perform at Dubai Opera with his band.
Francesco Cafiso Duo will join the evening as a special guest. Cafiso is an award-winning Italian saxophonist who gained international recognition at just 11 and is known for his precise, expressive style.
Hard bop and modal jazz are also part of the programme, with music associated with John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Herbie Hancock.
