Saxophonist Martin Genge is a powerhouse player who can sound uncannily like Dexter Gordon when on tenor. Although Martin was one of Bristol’s most prominent saxophonists through the late 80s and 90s with bands as diverse as Zimmer II, Mingus Fingers and The Avon Cities, his jazz club appearances in Bristol are quite rare nowadays, so it’s great to have him back. One reason Martin has been coaxed out is the presence of his old friend Clive Morton on bass - Clive moved up to Gloucestershire quite a few years ago, but before that was an absolute mainstay of the Bristol jazz scene as well as having a national reputation through his work with players such as pianist David Newton. Tom Berge is a fine pianist who studied at Leeds College and now works across the South West from his home in Bath. Andy Hague completes the band on drums. Martin Genge - saxes, Tom Berge - piano, Clive Morton - bass and Andy Hague - drums.
