Following an electrifying collaboration in June 2007, the RNCM Big Band is once again joined by one of the UK’s most in-demand keyboard players and Latin music producers, Alex Wilson.

One of the leading names on the UK jazz and Latin music scenes, Wilson has performed with everyone from Courtney Pine to Jazz Jamaica, Adalberto Santiago to Toumani Diabaté. Of his six solo albums, his latest, Salsa con Soul, has been a worldwide hit on the salsa scene, regularly charting DJ lists and a favourite of the salsa dance clubs. He has also enjoyed success in the commercial world, penning the theme tune of Channel 4’s How to Look Good Naked, as well featured tracks on the US drama series 24. One final thing – watch out for Alex again this Autumn, as he returns to the RNCM with his Mali-Latino project, co-led by Malian virtuosi Madou Sidiki Diabaté and Ahmed Fofana.
