Music - Jazz/latin
Described in Jazzwise Magazine as evoking a ?Metheny-esque lyricism?, guitarist Steve Banks presents a quintet featuring musicians from the forefront of UK jazz.

In 2021, Steve will be releasing ?Emboldened?, an Arts Council England supported suite of his original music alongside recording an album of compositions with the quintet. Steve?s captivating style, lyricism and versatility has also featured on recent recordings and performances across the UK with Sara Colman, Greg Cordez and We Are Leif.

The quintet presents Steve?s original compositions encompassing deep contemporary grooves, Brazilian and swing influences, lush harmonies and memorable melodic hooks. The rich and dynamic musical landscapes created by the quintet are redolent of The Impossible Gentlemen, Maria Schneider, Fred Hersch and Bill Frisell, providing a showcase for Steve?s expressive, resonant and distinctive voice.
