£16.00
This event is part of Bridport-Birth of the Cool, a month long festival of jazz, sponsored by Clocktower Records and Jazz Jurassica.
The Neil Maya Quartet brings 1959 – The Golden Year of Jazz to Bridport: expect epic tracks like “Take Five”, “So What” and “Giant Steps”, delivered with crisp sax, slick piano and timeless style.
Step back into 1959—the year jazz tore up the script and swaggered into history. Miles Davis dropped Kind of Blue. Brubeck unleashed Time Out. New grooves, new ideas, new bravado.
Neil Maya and his quartet aren’t just playing the music of this golden year—they’re unpacking it. Between killer tunes, Neil lifts the lid on why ’59 was the moment jazz got fearless, fresh and seriously inventive. Expect bold rhythms, cool curves and off-the-leash improvisation.
Whether you’re jazz-curious or already deep in the groove, this is your chance to feel this mind-blowing year that changed everything. Listen, learn but mostly enjoy!
