‘Bringing a wider market of music culture’

The Galleon Bar in Abingdon Street plays host to the Kozma Orsi Quartet on Sunday from 9pm.

Jazz vocalist Kozma Orsi fronts the act, with the band’s bass player Viktar Hars having moved to the UK last year, setting up home in Blackpool – where he met Galleon bar owner Stephen Pierre.

Stephen said: “Viktar has a very impressive CV and has played alongside several international names such as Al Jarreau.

“He is an inventive composer, a moderniser and jazz ambassador. The best way to describe his work is to say, if Picasso’s work was musical it would sound like Viktar.

“When I get the opportunity to ‘jam’ with Viktar I am pushed beyond my boundaries and is great inspiration for any jazz musician or vocalist.

“The Kozma Orsi Quartet are a great example of developing and attracting a wider market of music culture to Blackpool.”
