Girton Jazz presents Kind of Blue

For Cambridge Jazz Festival, Girton College’s celebrated jazz scheme brings together an all-star band of top British talent for a special performance of Miles Davis’ seminal album Kind of Blue, to celebrate the centenary of one of history’s most important jazz musicians.
