Keith Tippett and Dartington Improvising Trio, Vortex London
Brilliant sense of adventure and invention from jazz veterans

AFTER a succession of serious health ailments and for the first time in over a year, one of jazz’s great virtuoso pianists, veteran Keith Tippett performs again at an old and beloved haunt.

He’s part of the Dartington Improvising Trio with his old saxophone confrere Paul Dunmall and the ever-innovative wordless voice of Julie Tippetts — the Julie Driscoll of Brian Auger’s Trinity in the 1960s and This Wheels on Fire fame.
