Trumpeter Tomos Williams brings his band of brilliant musicians to Theatr Soar, Merthyr Tydfil for the first time to play the music of jazz legend Miles Davis.
The band will play some of the classics associated with the great trumpeter: So What, Joshua, All Blues but also feature some of the less well-known songs from Miles' vast catalogue such as Masqualero and Fran Dance.
Miles Davis was one of the towering figures of 20th Century music and 2026 marks his centenary year. In tribute to his vast influence on jazz, '7Steps' will present his music with vigour and passion.
Tomos Williams is a leading and unique voice on the Welsh jazz scene. Heavily indebted and influenced by Miles' music ,7Steps is a natural project for Tomos to front.
7Steps have toured Wales in 2018 and 2023, and their concerts paying homage to Miles Davis and his music are always popular. Get your tickets early for a night of swinging jazz and burning solos.
Tomos Williams – trumpet, Joe Northwood – tenor sax, Dave Jones – piano, Aidan Thorne – bass, Mark O'Connor – drums
"Williams guides the band, and he stalks the stage half-proud father and half-explorer in a new, dangerous, but familiar land. His horn is beautifully controlled, pulling soloists back to the root of the number, springboarding them off." Wales Arts Review
