Kind Of Blue - the seminal album by Miles Davis - will be performed, beginning to end, by Gary Crosby's Nu Troop.

If that name doesn't immediately ring a bell, then Greenbelters will definitely recognise some of the faces (and sounds) of the festival regulars who makeup the band. Gary Crosby is the leader of Jazz Jamaica All Stars, and the Nu Troop features Mainstage favourites Soweto Kinch, Denys Baptiste and Abram Wilson alongside Andrew McCormack and Rod Youngs.

A committed educationalist, Gary Crosby began weekly open jam sessions at London’s Jazz Café under the project title "Tomorrow’s Warriors". Aimed at encouraging young musicians to play jazz, it proved highly successful as a number of bright, young talents emerged, five of whom were invited by Gary to become permanent members of his new band - NU TROOP.

If ever the UK had a 'supergroup', the current edition of Nu Troop must be it.

Between them, the current band members have won 16 awards, including two Mercury Music Prizes for An Album Of The Year, two MOBO Awards for Best Jazz Act, four international awards, and a pile of BBC and other Jazz Awards.

Go and check them out. You will not be disappointed!
