This will be a major event for Wakefield Jazz and will be an all ticket occasion with a higher ticket price than normal at £15.00 (concessions £13.00).

The suite's only performance was at the London Jazz Festival in November 2006 as a work in progress. The performance was broadcast on Radio 3. This outing will be one of the last before Guy records the eponymous CD.

This concert will feature, in the second half, a performance of the work commissioned by Radio 3 for last year’s London Jazz Festival - dZf (Die Zauberflote). A work in 9 parts, based on the story of Mozart’s “The Magic Flute”. Narration of the reinvented tale, set in a seedy New York of the 1940s, is authenticated by the Brooklyn-born actor Michael Brandon. The words and reinvention are the work of author Robert Ryan. Robert plans to be at the gig to “tweak the libretto” right up to the last moment.

The beginning of the concert will consist of a selection of pieces from Guy’s Amadeus suite - pieces based on the personalities of various characters from Mozart Operas and written for his appearances at the Mainly Mozart Festival in San Diego, Baja California.
