FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE JAZZ: JON LLOYD QUARTET

This UK based group presents vibrant European Contemporary Jazz, played by a quartet of superb musicians. They’ll be performing music from their critically acclaimed release “Earth Songs” (2 million streams worldwide) and new material from our forthcoming album “Shadowland”.

There is a direct beauty to their music which audiences really respond to, whether jazz fans or not. A calming antidote to the rigours of modern life!

The leader and composer is tenor and soprano saxophonist Jon Lloyd. Jon has been part of the UK jazz scene for several decades and has now turned his attention to European contemporary jazz; using classical and non-western music influences as well as jazz sources to write vibrant, melodic and emotionally engaging new jazz compositions.

The quartet also comprises the virtuosic pianist John Law (Congregation, Re-Creations, Art of Sound Trio with Yuri Golubev, Asaf Sirkis), Nick Pini (Laura Marling, Seth Lakeman, Izzie Yardley, Iain Ballamy) on double bass and Alex Goodyear (Yetii, Simon Spillett, Re-Creations, Jake McMurchie) on drums.

“The quartet’s sound emerges from the mutual understanding and anticipation shared by saxophone and piano… miraculous… bass and drums pick up on the telepathy too.” Nigel Jarrett, Jazz Journal, 2024

Tickets: £15
