Soirée: Alan Barnes Quintet

Soirée: Alan Barnes Quintet

Multi award winning Alan Barnes plays hard urban post-bop with passion and energy with this stellar quintet

Alan Barnes reeds, Robert Fowler saxes, David Newton piano, Dave Green bass, Matt Home drums

World class reeds player, inspirational band leader, composer, arranger, master of the humorous quip, educator, music businessman and potential Eurostar ticket inspector (see David Newton's website), Alan Barnes is always at his most exuberant leading his own band.

"Barnes, plays music that was radical 50 years ago - hard, urban post-bop - but he infuses it with so much passion and energy you could believe it was minted on the spot, which is ….. Jazz" - John L. Walters, The Guardian.

With the pianistic heroism of our Presidente, David Newton, the mellow reeds of Robert Fowler, the eminent and jolly pair of Dave Green and Matt Home, this will be a gig to savour.
