Cool Jazz Quartet – 18th September

Swinging mainstream vibes with a hint of West Coast low-key coolness brought to you by the Cool Jazz Quartet.

The band is led by Greg Sterlandtenor and baritone sax, with Jonny Westhorpguitar, Dan Somerspiano and Mike Kennedyupright bass.

Greg, Dan and Mike are stalwarts of the burgeoning contemporary Bristol Jazz scene, bringing together modern jazz and bebop (Greg), swing and big band (Dan) and traditional and mainstream (Mike).  The guys are joined by Jonny, who adds a strikingly refreshing, individual guitar style to the overall mix.

The band’s repertoire is the American songbook of jazz standards sprinkled with compositions by standout European musicians such as Lars Gullin and Bobby Jespar.
