Windsor Jazz Club: Andy Fite - Jazz Comic Philosopher

About

We welcome Stockholm-based Andy Fite - Jazz Comic Philosopher for his first performance in the United Kingdom. Fite combines an original and engaging improvising style on guitar and voice with an approach to the art of songwriting that is both serious and seriously funny.

Originally from New York, he has performed there at legendary clubs Birdland and the Blue Note, as well as internationally at A-Trane in Berlin (where we first heard him), Glenn Miller Cafe in Stockholm, Philly Joe's in Tallinn, Le Club in Moscow, and venues in Canada, France, Norway, Austria and Greece.

He draws inspiration from his long life as a jazz musician, his love for the Great American Songbook, his study of politics and sexuality, his work as a therapist (and patient!) and his fascination with people. The tone is conversational, the mood is friendly. The music, and the poetry, are full of surprises.

Advance tickets: £10 (no booking fee)

Tickets are available now from www.windsorjazzclub.uk
