A
gig
held at The Be-Bop Club
on Friday 31st May. The event starts at 20:30.
Saxophonist Joe Northwood is becoming one of the Cardiff jazz scene’s major voices, and besides playing also promotes gigs and jam sessions at Tiny Rebel. Having graduated from the Royal Welsh College Joe furthered his studies by attending some of the USA led summer schools in Italy, where he received tuition from some of the world’s greatest such as Walter Smith iii, Ben Wendel and David Binney. The full title of his new project is Impressions: A Coltrane Celebration, and is a fitting tribute to the incredible legacy of John Coltrane, one of the finest musical minds to ever pick up a saxophone. The programme will include many famous Coltrane compositions and other pieces he recorded. Joe Northwood - tenor & soprano saxophones, Michael Blanchfield - piano, Aeddan Williams - double-bass and Jon Reynolds - drums.
