Eastside Jazz Festival 2027: Jeff Ballard, Kit Downes and Orlando le Fleming
Jeff Ballard
Renowned for collaborations with Chick Corea, Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau, Jeff Ballard [pictured] is one of the world’s leading jazz drummers. His acclaimed debut album Time’s Tales earned NPR Top 25 recognition and Germany’s Echo Award for Best Instrumentalist. Ballard brings a distinctive voice, exceptional artistry and electrifying energy to every performance.
"...he has that gift that so many drummers crave but don’t achieve – he’s exceedingly shambolic on the surface yet always in the pocket below." Jazz Times
Kit Downes
Kit Downes is a Mercury Prize-nominated, BBC Jazz Award and Deutscher Jazzpreis-winning pianist, organist, composer and ECM recording artist. Equally at home in jazz and classical music, he performs worldwide, collaborates with leading international artists, and creates acclaimed works for ensembles and festivals.
“One of the finest of his generation” Jazzwise
Orlando le Fleming
British bassist, composer and educator Orlando le Fleming is at the forefront of contemporary jazz. He has performed with leading international artists including Branford Marsalis and Kurt Rosenwinkel, leads acclaimed projects including OWL Trio, tours worldwide, and mentors a global community of bass students.
"Superb... a fresh mix of energy, intelligence and groove." Jazz’n’More
