A
gig
held at The Be-Bop Club
on Friday 24th March. The event starts at 20:30pm.
Sam Crockatt is one of the UK’s leading saxophonists who has recorded for the Whirlwind label with his quartet featuring Kit Downes, Oli Hayhurst and James Maddren. His new project Brouhaha is made up of three musicians who have recently made the west country their home - Sam Crockatt on tenor saxophone, Riaan Vosloo on double bass and Dave Smith on drums. The music, which is a mixture of originals, arrangements of folk tunes and standards, is full of possibility. Whilst being at times raw and searching, melody is always at it's heart. Be-Bop Club regulars will remember Sam’s superb performance with John Law in 2016. “Haunting lyricism” - John Fordham, The Guardian. “Performances full of power and invention, delivered with precision, poise, and grace" - Helen Mayhew, Jazz FM.
