Kit Downes Trio Box office: 01962 840440. www.theatre-royal-winchester.co.uk. 8pm. £12 full, £10 con, £9.50 Friends. Pianist and composer Kit Downes exploded onto the British Jazz Scene playing with the band Empirical, taking him through Europe and America. He went on to win the BBC Jazz Awards for Rising Star in 2008, as well as a Yamaha Scholarship in 2009. Now Kit has moved on to his own trio project and this debut album sees him developing a strong voice both as a performer and composer. Golden has been selected in Jazzwise's Top 10 Albums of the Year. Joined by his two Royal Academy colleagues, award-winning bassist Calum Gourlay and rising drum star James Maddren, the music displays a level of understanding and intelligence between players that can only come from working closely together for a number of years. They read each other perfectly.
