Spend your Saturday afternoon in style at Matt & Phred’s, enjoying live jazz alongside a specially curated brunch pizza menu. Join us for our Jazz Brunch featuring the outstanding Jack Pearce Quintet, delivering an engaging set of original compositions that blend jazz tradition with a fresh, contemporary edge. Expect inventive, high-energy performances that draw from post-bop and 90s world fusion influences, brought to life with a strong sense of interplay and musical exploration. Formed of Leeds Conservatoire alumni, the Jack Pearce Quintet is known for its commitment to both melodic invention and technical excellence. Their music is carefully crafted through extensive rehearsal and refined in the live setting, resulting in performances that feel dynamic, spontaneous, and deeply cohesive. The band is quickly gaining recognition as one of the most exciting emerging groups on the UK jazz scene. Across two vibrant one-hour sets, expect a rich mix of original material featuring saxophone, piano, guitar, bass, and drums, balancing intricate instrumental passages with expressive, melody-led moments. Alongside the music, enjoy a brunch pizza menu with creative twists on familiar favourites – from Meaty, to Shakshuka, to Smoked Salmon, and more. With its central city location, intimate atmosphere, and standout live music, Matt & Phred’s Jazz Brunch offers a unique way to spend your weekend.
