Chis Sansom combines an electrifying fusion of classical principles and rock/rock to present a four-movement suits entitled The Life and Times of a Perfect Stranger as the centre piece for his Unfinished Business Album Tour.

Bearing the influence of the great Frank Zappa, Perfect Stranger was written, though never performed, in the 1970s for a band which included a number of innovative musicians like Chris Biscoe, Dick Pearce and Pete  Jacobson who were then members of the National Jazz Orchestra.

Thankfully, Chris Sansom has blown the dust of the original charts to revive Perfect Strangers for current audiences with a superb nine-piece  ensemble comprising a new generation of musicians who are steeped in the jazz tradition.

You can expect an exciting night of original music.

Watch out for the release of Unfinished Business on the Sparkle record label
