Blue Hour marks synthesist Nick Schofield's first foray into ambient jazz. Created as an ambient ode to Miles Davis' In A Silent Way, Blue Hour features the intuitive and totally improvised trumpet playing of Scott Bevins (No Cosmos) and introduces Schofield's childhood instrument, drums, to his ambient-electronic practice. For this concert, Nick Schofield (drums, synthesiser) will recreate his Blue Hour album with Scott Bevins (trumpet) and Yolande Laroche (keyboards).
