Kyle Eastwood

The American bassist and composer Kyle Eastwood performs in Madrid to present his new album, titled Eastwood by Eastwood.

The American musician Kyle Eastwood visits the capital to perform his new repertoire, as part of the JAZZMADRID festival. Active since 1990 and trained musically with lessons from Bunny Brunel, the American bassist founded his own band, the West Quintet, at the age of twenty-three, before releasing his first album, From There To Here, on Columbia Records in 1998. On stage, the artistic director and bassist is joined by drummer Chris Higginbottom, pianist Andrew McCormack, trumpeter and clarino player Quentin Collins and saxophonist Brandon Allen.

The programme brings together a dual artistic strand that links jazz with filmmaking. On the one hand, the show presents original compositions by Kyle Eastwood; on the other, it includes performances of soundtracks linked to films by Clint Eastwood, with scores by Ennio Morricone, Lennie Niehaus, Lalo Schifrin and John Williams. The performance takes place at the Teatro Fernán Gómez. Centro Cultural de la Villa.
