London Jazz Festival in association with BBC Radio 3 present Cleveland Watkiss
Cleveland Watkiss performs in artsdepot�s studio theatre, as part of the London Jazz Festival this November.
Member of the iconic 80s band Jazz Warriors, Cleveland Watkiss is now firmly established as a vocalist of awe-inspiring range and imagination. His smooth, sophisticated, vocals have been heard in an impressive array of settings, and he has worked with artists ranging from The Who and Bj�rk through to the London Community Gospel Choir.
Cleveland�s solo performance Vocal Suite, is an elusive acappella vocal improvisation. He blends improvisation/counterpoint harmony, electronics, breakbeat loops and basslines (all live and from his mouth) to stunning effect, creating a unique, orchestral vocal soundscape. Vocal Suite fuses voice and technology, using real-time looping to create live compositions. Technology is used to record, then layer the voice, creating an orchestral piece composed right before the audience. No two performances are ever the same.
Artsdepot, 8pm, price unknown, tel: 020 8369 5454.
