Recently returning from his first shows in Europe and the U.S. leading his Trio, Myele Manzanza is on the road again this week announcing his first London show with the Trio on the 19th of June before picking up the sticks as the rhythm man for Detroit's legendary producer Theo Parrish.

Parrish, who is internationally renown for his expansive genre-hopping live DJ sets and ground breaking dance music productions has assembled a full band to perform his music live for the first time in 10 years and asked the NZ drummer to join his line up which includes Amp Fiddler (keys), Akwasi Mensah (bass) and Duminie DePorres (guitar), for an extensive European tour headlining festivals such as Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Festival in France and Moscow's Outline festival.

"Theo Parrish is a musical hero of mine and has been formative in my creative approach. To have him shoulder tap me and fly me out from New Zealand to join his band and perform with him - I am beyond honoured." says Myele

Myele will kick the tour off with a first show at London's Jazz Re:Freshed with his Trio featuring expat Kiwi's Mark de Clive-Lowe on keys and Matt Dal Din on bass. The Trio whose U.S. debut performance was selected as a “Concert of the Week” by LA Weekly, will perform originals from Myele's album 'One' which was released on BBE Records late last year.
