His current bands are the Julian Siegel Quartet, the Julian Siegel Trio with US Improvising stars Drummer Joey Baron and Bassist Greg Cohen and the band Partisans, co-led for the last 20 years with guitarist Phil Robson.
As a sideman Julian has played in large ensembles led by Andrew Hill, Mike Gibbs alongside Bill Frisell, Steve Swallow and Adam Nussbaum, the Hermeto Pascoal UK Big Band, Django Bates Delightful Precipice, John Taylor, Jazz Jamaica, Kenny Wheeler, Colin Towns with the NDR big band and with Hans Koller ‘New Memories Band’ with Steve Lacy.
“…a world class saxophonist” - Jazz UK.
Julian has chosen to work with some of this generation’s most distinctive voices to create a group that is becoming one of the most in-demand quartets on the UK Jazz scene.
The band features inspirational pianist Liam Noble, his fluid touch and dazzling imagination perfectly complementing Siegel’s music and playing, and providing a perfect foil for the many directions the music can turn.
With the creative spark of dynamic drummer Gene Calderazzo and the deep groove of bassist Oli Hayhurst dove-tailing perfectly with Siegel and Noble this is unquestionably one of the UK’s most exciting and powerful quartets.
Following up from their London Jazz Award winning album 'Urban Theme Park’ (Basho) the band release their third Album 'VISTA’ on Whirlwind Recordings on 2/2/18. Recorded at Livingston Studios, London it features ten of Julian’s compositions plus an arrangement of Bud Powell’s ‘Un Poco Loco’. This new acoustic set of music moves freely through varied sound worlds and colours, from undercurrents of bop to searching ballads and joyful melodies.
The band were on Jazzwise UK Magazine’s front cover last month, with an album feature by Stuart Nicholson
