Monthly jazz night at The Box with trumpet player Ray Butcher leading a mix of bebop, Latin and groove-led originals, followed by a free jam session.
Ray Butcher takes the lead for the next Jazz Jam at The Box in FarGo Village on Thursday 5 November. It's part of the village's monthly series, which runs every first Thursday of the month, so if you've missed the previous ones, this is a good time to jump in.
The night is built around a relaxed, feel-good atmosphere with the bar open and a guest musician leading the way. Butcher will be on trumpet, guiding the set through a mix of bebop, Latin and groove-led originals alongside some of the jazz standards most of us know. When the main performance finishes, the stage opens up to any musicians in the audience who want to join in and jam, making it a free and welcoming session for anyone who plays.
Butcher is a versatile trumpet player with a career that stretches across jazz, soul and beyond. He's performed alongside Robbie Williams, Mica Paris, Robert Plant and Dr John, so he's worked in a few different worlds. The Box itself is inside FarGo Village, an artistically re-purposed industrial space in the heart of Coventry city centre, designed for creative, independent businesses in a recently regenerated area with a rich cultural heritage.
