Chip Wickham

A welcome return to the UK for Chip Wickham and chance to hear the new Gondwana Records EP Love & Life live with a full five piece band. Chip Wickham is a jazz musician and producer who divides his time between Spain, UK and the Middle-East and who has made a name for himself with a series of beautifully crafted solo albums that draw equally on the hard swinging spiritual jazz of Roland Kirk, Yusef Lateef and Sahih Shihab, alongside the music of British jazz legends such as Tubby Hayes and Harold McNair and the more contemporary sounds of Jazzanova, Kyoto Jazz Massive and Robert Glasper. He appears here playing music from his Gondwana Records releases Cloud 10 and Love & Life. Expect timeless, lyrical, hard-hitting, soulful, spiritual jazz and modal hard-bop with a distinctly UK flavour – driven by Chip’s deftly funky flute work and hard-hitting tenor. And underpinned by Chip’s restless energy and driven by his desire to connect with the listener on a deeper level.
