This new quintet brings together two legends of British Jazz Peter King and Alan Skidmore to honour the genius of the musicians who inspired them – Charlie Parker and John Coltrane.
Peter King – “the finest alto saxophonist that Britain has ever produced, and one of the finest in the world today” (Dave Gelly, The Giants of Jazz)
Alan Skidmore – “Skidmore’s performance can sometimes go a considerable way to
recreating the atmosphere of the master’s (John Coltrane’s) gigs.” (John Fordham, The Guardian)
But as you would expect this is no slavish tribute. This is vibrant 21st Century jazz inspired by the best there’s ever been. Intricate arrangements lead to a magnificent ensemble sound featuring coruscating solos from all five accomplished musicians.
In honour of BIRD ‘n TRANE is an experience not to be missed. |
