The Branford Marsalis Quartet returns to London in July along with the Maria Schneider Orchestra and the Gary Burton Quartet Revisited with Pat Metheny, Steve Swallow and Antonio Sanchez. Just announced by the Barbican, Marsalis, who won the Jazzwise album of the year accolade for Braggtown in 2006 with the same longstanding band – Joey Calderazzo on piano, Eric Revis on bass and Jeff "Tain" Watts, drums – roll up to the Barbican on 8 July.
The group is followed the next day by the Maria Schneider Orchestra. The Gil Evans-influenced arranger and composer released her Grammy-nominated album Sky Blue last year to much acclaim and came second in the Jazzwise poll, narrowly pipped by Empirical. Her orchestra to visit London includes trumpeter Ingrid Jensen and clarinettist Scott Robinson. Then on 27 July there is the reunion of Gary Burton with Pat Metheny in a quartet featuring Steve Swallow and drummer Antonio Sanchez. For more info go to www.barbican.org.uk or phone 0845 120 7550.
