It's time for another brilliant jazzy Sunday and this week we welcome a new trio to the cinema...
With John Donnelly on double bass, Mike Outram on guitar, and Sam Massey on trumpet this is set to be a great session, with focus on Miles Davis's early work such as Kind of Blue, Round About Midnight and Milestones.
