Since his arrival in the UK, American trumpeter Andre Canniere‘s profile has been steadily rising, both as a solo artist and a collaborator. His album Forward Space, released in 2012 on the Whirlwind Recordings label, received widespread critical acclaim with a rave review from the Guardian, a Mercury Prize recommendation and inclusion in Jazzwise Magazine’s ‘Albums of the Year’.
2013 saw the release of Coalescence, his second album on Whirlwind, which received further accolades from the Guardian and firmly established Canniere as “one of the most compelling artists on the current London jazz scene” (The Scotsman).
Canniere brings his new band Freeway to the Vortex featuring the stunning and mesmerising voice of Alice Zawadzki.
