“…channels the chaotic spirit of a bebop-fuelled era through a mix of wild improvisations and accessible jazz writing”

Doors: 7.00pm Music: 7.45pm

From chaotic improvisations to soulful structure, Dave Bristow’s quintet explores a fractured world in their sophisticated new album, Sides.

Sides is the brand new sophomore release of the steadily-rising Paris-based, UK pianist and composer, Dave Bristow and his quintet. It explores the growth of an artist and his group in a society fractured by post-pandemic socio-economic uncertainty and political ambiguity. The music aims to reflect the confusion of these times, through its winding and chaotic improvisations but also offers hope, structure and solace through its accessible melodies and tightly structured compositions.

Featuring the talents of Christian AltehülshorstFélix HardouinGabriel PierreGuillaume Prévost this forward-thinking project aims to leave its own unique indelible imprint on the European and international jazz scenes alike.
