Saxophonist Seamus Blake launches new album at Kings Place
Thursday, February 21, 2019
Acclaimed saxophonist Seamus Blake releases his new album, Guardians of the Heart Machine, on 15 March via UK-imprint Whirlwind Recordings.
His ninth album to date, and his first to be released on vinyl, the London-born, Vancouver-raised tenorist will launch the album at Kings Place, London on 8 March as part of a whistle-stop European tour.
Hailed as one of the most influential saxophonists of his generation, the 48-year-old Blake has performed and recorded with such luminaries as Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Dave Douglas, Antonio Sanchez, Michael Brecker and John Scofield. The high-energy album features three rising stars of the French jazz scene - pianist Tony Tixier, double bassist Florent Nisse and drummer Gautier Garrigue – all of whom will join Blake on the road.
