Stuart McCallum (of The Cinematic Orchestra): Distilled - Sunday 29th January 8pm - Tickets £10

Date: 
Sun, 29/01/2012 - 20:00


 "The music suggests the feel of the Cinematic Orchestra, Brian Eno and In a Silent Way-era Miles Davis" The Guardian 

"Guitarist Stuart McCallum's compositions are exemplary of everything that is exciting about new British jazz." Jazzwise Magazine 

Distilled, Cinematic Orchestra guitarist McCallum's brilliant third album, and first for Naim, is a sublime slice of ambient-jazz-electonica, based on the 'distillation' of musical ideas. The distinctive, ethereal and atmospheric sound of McCallum's guitar is central in the evocative and spacious new album Distilled, which exhibits far-flung influences from Wes Montgomery to Bjork, Flying Lotus to Bon Iver and James Blake to Bill Frisell.

Since launching to a sell-out crowd at the Manchester Jazz Festival in July, with fourteen piece ensemble, McCallum's unique sound is now gathering support as diverse as Giles Peterson on BBC R1, Jamie Cullum on BBC R2 and even BBC R3's Late Junction.

Stuart has also supported the Mercury nominated Portico Quartet at London's Southbank during London Jazz Festival on Saturday 19th November '11.

Don’t miss the chance to catch this Preston exclusive show from one of modern jazz music’s most innovative exponents. 

All starts at 8pm on Sunday 29th January 2012. 

Tickets are £10 and are available from The Continental’s Bar (01772 499 425), Preston Visitor Information (01772 253 731), Action Records (01772 882 772) or online from seetickets
