About This Event
Directed by Beats & Pieces leader Ben Cottrell, Big Ideas presents large ensemble jazz, improvised, experimental, and adjacent music in, of, and for the North of England. With a focus on stylistic diversity and emphasis on the new and adventurous, each project is freshly-commissioned from Northern-based composers and arrangers and performed by a unique ensemble drawn from a pool of musicians across the region, flexible in instrumentation and personnel.
