Kirk Lightsey
Kirk Lightsey is a legend of the jazz piano. He was born in Detroit in 1937, and grew up immersed in that city's rich musical culture. Deep roots and a feeling for the blues, together with a richly developed sense of harmony characterise his playing and make his concerts uplifting and joyful occasions.
He is joined this evening on one of his few UK dates of 2023 by a fine quartet featuring fellow Paris resident, the great US drummer Sangoma Everett, long time associate Steve Watts on bass and the exciting young tenor saxophonist Alex Hitchcock.
Evening performance 8pm to 10.20pm.Licensed bar on arrival and at the interval. See below for address and parking.
