Dear All,
This Friday we are delighted to welcome back one of the finest
quartets on the international jazz scene led by the prodigiously
talented Julian Siegel. The following is by John Styles from our
website:
JULIAN SIEGEL Reeds
LIAM NOBLE Piano
OLI HAYHURST Bass
GENE CALDERAZZO Drums
Julian's band promises to be another highlight from an already
fascinating musician and his peers. As well as being a platform for
his soloing and compositions, it's a showcase for all of these highly
individual virtuosi.
Julian has established himself alongside the most creative forces in
the UK, USA and beyond; as one quarter of the influential Partisans
and a former member of Loose Tubes, he helped take the small jazz
group sound into new areas. As well as playing with major composers
and bandleaders such as Mike Gibbs, Hermeto Pascoal, Andrew Hill,
Steve Lacy and Django Bates, he formed a trio including the
influential US rhythm pairing of Greg Cohen and Joey Baron.
Tonight's quartet toured around Europe earlier this year as part of a
special festival of UK jazz; they have a new CD available, Urban Theme
Park, which is already gaining praise for the inventive range of
styles on display. It features all tonight's players; Liam
consistently delivers a world class sensibility as pianist, composer,
bandleader and as a recent partner on Christine Tobin's Tapestry
performance.
Oli's experience includes the finest jazz players – Gwilym Simcock,
Tim Whitehead, Bobby Wellins, Zoe Rahman, Jim Mullen – and leading
Irish folk singer Cara Dillon. He was a founder member of the Orient
House Ensemble, and has since toured the Middle East with Reem Kelani.
Gene remains one of our most popular visiting drummers. He brings a
taste of his native New York to his playing, and the wealth of
experience and work rate gained during his studies on the famed
Berklee jazz course – not for the faint-hearted, with fellow students
being Marvin 'Smitty' Smith and Jeff 'Tain' Watts. His most
established presence in the UK is alongside Julian in Partisans, and
he also appears with Zoe Rahman, Christine Tobin, Bobby Wellins and
others.
