Rhapsody in Blue
The evening
Grammy-nominated Miho Hazama, chief conductor of the Danish Radio Big Band, brings an effortless swagger to her debut at the Bridgewater Hall.
At the heart of this jazz-inflected programme is George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue – a piano concerto threaded through with jazz freedom – followed by selected Gershwin songs reframed through Hazama’s luminous instrumental arrangements.
