Phenomenal Quintet

This Quintet features some of the finest contemporary jazz bebop musicians in the UK, fronted by internationally renowned trumpet star Quentin Collins, Greek saxophone phenomenon Vasilis Xenopoulosand the golden touch of pianist Rob Barron. Added to this is virtuosic double bassist Matyas Hofeckerand hard-swinging drummer Matt Home.  The band’s vision is to carry on the lineage of groups like Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers as well mirroring the New York contemporary-bop scene. If you’re looking for inspiration, this quintet presents a sound that respects the tradition of the hard-bop era whilst also bringing it up to date for today’s audience.
