This has lent him the opportunity to travel through the world and show off his musical prowess alongside the finest musicians. Now, he comes to town with the New Orleans Jazz Band, formed by Woody Allen on clarinet, Eddy Davis on banjo and as musical director, Conal Fowkes on double bass, Robert Garcia on drums, Cynthia Sayer on piano, Simon Wettenhal on trumpet and Jerry Zigmont on trombone.

The concert performed by Woody Allen and his band can be considered more classic jazz. Their repertoire includes tunes that have emerged from New Orleans's weighty jazz tradition. Their only aim is to provide their audience an enjoyable, entertaining show.

Allen is surrounded by prestigious musicians, as the presence of the orchestra's musical director, Eddy Davis, can attest. Davis is a recognised musician in the world of jazz and has collaborated with ultra-important artists the likes of Jabo Smith, Tom Waits and Benny Goodman, among others.

His films are rife with musical references, especially from the world of jazz. Woody Allen is a multi-talented individual, given that he is a director, actor, musician and writer. Furthermore, his has won countless awards, such as the Oscar, BAFTA or Golden Globe, for films like Annie Hall, Match Point and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
