Thomas Dolby & the Jazz Mafia Horns in the late 1970s, synths and electronic music was the exclusive province of superstars, academics, and seasoned studio pros. Then came a new generation of young rebels, led by Thomas Dolby.
Thomas Dolby and his songs are living, breathing entities. They have grown and matured. What is a state-of-the-art gizmo today may sound dated tomorrow; Dolby has always kept timeless fundamentals: evocative timbres, thoughtful lyrics, and memorable melodies at the heart of his music.
His current live show offers an opportunity for both artist and audience to get back up to speed with his classic material... before the next leg of his absorbing journey commences.
His performance at the Photon Ballet will include a three-piece horn section and a jaw-dropping real-time sequencing performance, enhanced by the multimedia visuals created by VJ Johnny Dekam. A fitting return to the stage for one of the pioneer artists of the MTV generation. For more information, visit www.thomasdolby.com/.
