| Alex Clarke and Dan Newberry Quintet |
Two rising stars of the UK jazz scene join forces. Presenting a mixture of original compositions and fresh arrangements of standards, expect relentless swing and fiery interplay between these two volcanic players.
As a finalist in the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2020, winner of the Rising Star category in the 2019 British Jazz Awards and nominee in the Parliamentary Jazz Awards 2021 & 2022, Alex Clarke is known to be one of the most in-demand and versatile young saxophonists to have emerged on the British jazz scene. Since the age of 15 - where she saw her first public performance sitting in with the Exall/Roberts Quintet at Pershore Jazz Festival - Alex has been a regular face at jazz clubs and festivals all around the country. Known for her versatility and open-minded attitude towards jazz, Alex enjoys performing a range of genres from New Orleans to bebop.
Joining Alex on the front-line is Dan Newberry on tenor sax. Dan is a graduate of the Royal Welsh College and has become a favourite with Bristol audiences over the past few years with his huge tone and stylistic versatility.
They will be joined by the powerhouse rhythm section of Guy Shotton (piano), Nick Kacal (bass) and Alex Goodyear (drums).
| Hippo |
Hippo thrives in the hinterland between jazz and electronica. Bursting with buoyant melodies and the adrenal energy of a band stretching their shows to the edge of possibility, the trio continues to make a colossal sound far beyond what their three-piece stature should permit.
Led by saxophonist and producer Doug Cave (Cousin Kula), the trio comprises noted members of the Bristol scene, all equally comfortable with the spontaneity of jazz and the expansive sound world of electronics. Assembling the music from a myriad of analogue synths and a sea of FX pedals, the compositions remain rooted with a strong melodic identity whilst bathed in a wild, raw and technicolor landscape.
Saxophones, synthesisers and drums go in, Hippo comes out.
