Tuesday Night Live with Jazz at Heart team up to present: EXTENDED FAMILY BAND

Doors 7pm Music 7.15pm

‘One of the best modern jazz groups performing at the moment’ – Bebop Spoken Here

‘You simply HAVE to get to see them – you won’t be disappointed’ – Martin Powell, JATP

This is a new project which sees the original quartet of like-minded friends, Family Band, expanded to a seven piece band. The band takes as its starting point the music of those musicians who, back in the 1960s, were at the forefront of the free jazz revolution, but whose opening up of jazz’s constraints is now recognised as not a break from the past but an integral part of the music’s development.

Kim Macari – trumpet, Dee Byrne – alto saxophone, Riley Stone-Lonergan – tenor saxophone
Alicia Gardener-Trejo – baritone Sax, Andrew Woodhead – piano, Tom Rivière – double bass,
Steve Hanley – drums

Extended Family Band doesn’t recreate the work of Ornette Coleman and others, but shares its powerful and free-spirited momentum. This expanded line-up with new collaborators, sees the band performing music that is more ambitious in scope and more alive with tonal colours and sonic possibility – all the while seeking to express a more complex and deeper personal truth.

Music from 19.15pm – 21.15pm approx.
