BRIDPORT: Accordionist Karen Street’s latest project ‘Streetworks’ will be playing at the Jazz Café in Bridport Arts Centre early next month.

The band features guitarist Mike Outram, bassist Will Harris, and saxophonist Andy Tweed. The music is melodic, influenced not only by jazz but with strong leanings to both Central European and South American styles, especially the tango.

Karen Street has produced three CDs under her own name all receiving very enthusiastic reviews. She has played alongside renowned UK musicians Mike Westbrook, Martin Taylor, Stan Sulzman and Tina May; other credits include Grace Jones, Martha Wainwright, Ute Lemper and Sir Willard White.

Mike Outram is one of the UK’s foremost guitarists who is sought after as an improviser and for his ability to contribute a unique voice to any musical ensemble. Andy Tweed is one of the most accomplished saxophonists inhabiting the ground between contemporary classical and jazz making him the perfect choice for this project.

Will Harris has established himself as one of the most in-demand double bassists in the South West, having played with the likes of Bobby Wellins, Alan Barnes, Tina May and Anita Wardell.

He is also a member of Emily Wright’s Moonlight Saving Time who have had sell-out concerts at Brecon, Oxford and Cheltenham Jazz Festivals.

The show will be held on October 3 beginning at 8pm. Tickets are priced at £10 and can be obtained via the box office on 01308 424204.
