The group draws on inspiration from all periods of jazz (think Chick Corea, Joshua Redman and Herbie Hancock), as well as unique arrangements of standards, and some latin, funk, and blues tunes for good measure! The group has a fundamental appreciation for improvisation and that is at the fore for this evening. Line up: Sam Lightwing (saxophone), Will Bird (trumpet), Ethan Gillespie (keys), Calum Montgomery (drums), Pete Hartley (bass). Posted In: Thursday 22nd May Tagged: mjf
