2.25 Daniel Wyllie “5 over 4”

Dan Wyllie is a tenor saxophonist influenced as much by New York’s contemporary giants, such as Seamus Blake and Chris Potter, as he is by legends past, the likes of Hank Mobely and Stanley Turrentine. He will be bringing his Nonet to play a selection of his own compositions and arrangements of some of his favourite tunes. Expect hard swinging grooves and heart melting ballads, balancing jazz tradition and modern approaches, with a huge tone, as sensitive as it is brash. Ozzy Parker on piano Marcus Cain  on bass and Alasdair Pennington on drums,
