Description

A special concert highlighting the contribution that drummers have made to jazz across the decades, not only as instrumentalists but also as composers - many well known Jazz tunes that epitomise some eras are written by drummers.

The music covers the eras ?Bebop & Beyond? and includes tunes by Elvin Jones, Kenny Clarke, Paul Motian, Jack DeJohnette, Bill Stewart & others and consequently covers BeBop, Modal, ECM , 90?s NuBop. Despite the wide variety of music, this band creates a unified sound which brings continuity to the project and the musicians are given space to interpret in their current way.

Features - Chris Batchelor on trumpet (Pigfoot, Big Air, Loose Tubes), Jason Yarde on saxes (Edition records), Gareth Williams on piano (Claire Martin, Jim Mullen, Iain Ballamy), Oli Hayhurst on bass (Julian Seigel, Pharoah Sanders, Zoe Rahman) and Gary Willcox on drums (Loz Speyer?s Inner Space, WayOutWest, Chris Biscoe?s Mingus Profiles). 

???inspiring and ?in the moment? playing. Love it! ?. - Jerry Bergonzi
