A gig on Sunday 27th May. The event starts at 20:00.
Award winning Saxophonist/Composer Ed Jones returns to the quartet format with which he first made his
name on the UK jazz scene over 25 years ago. Formed in 2011 and Initially inspired by the music of
Wayne Shorter this quartet has branched out to feature original new compositions from Jones
and bassist Riaan Vosloo with outstanding support from Ross Stanley on Piano and Tim Gilles on Drums.Their Recording “For Your Ears Only” recorded in the summer of 2016 and is being released in Autumn 2017on Impossible Ark Records.It also features a special guest appearance from acclaimed vocalist Brigitte Beraha. To Coincide with the release of “For Your Ears Only” Ed will be embarking on a 15 Date UK Tour with the Quartet April -June 2018 with a touring grant support from Arts Council England .This is his first solo recording release and nationwide tour since his 2003’ Seven Moments album.
"Ed Jones may now be considered a stalwart of the UK & International jazz scene. Signed originally by Gilles Peterson on Acid Jazz and after many years in Incognito he has always ploughed his own furrow leading different small groups himself. This quartet with Impossible Ark regulars Ross Stanley, Riaan Vosloo & Tim Giles is a fully freewheeling affair. Taking hard bop melodies and systematically dismantling them. Rough, ferocious and virtuosic performances by all members of the group are always soulful.”Kudos
