Baptiste Herbin is one of the worlds leading saxophonists and is regularly in demand across the globe. He is visiting the North of England as part of a short tour and is sure to delight with his effortless lyrical playing and total command of the instrument. This is a rare opportunity for people to hear one of the best saxophonists in the world close up performing a variety of his own compositions and tunes.

Originally from Chartres, one of the best saxophonists of his generation, Baptiste Herbin began studying saxophone with Jean-Louis Mounier, dedicating himself to jazz music under the guidance of Julien Lourau, Jean-Jacques Rulhmann and, later, Jean-Charles Richard. After studying under Riccardo Del Fra at the Conservatoire in Paris, he began appearing in the French capital’s vibrant jazz scene. His music and style are influenced by Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley, Ornette Coleman, Maceo Parker, John Coltrane, traditional music from Madagascar, but also by classical composers such as Debussy, Ravel and Bach.

‘Baptiste, he has everything. It’s crazy, everything! The sound, the phrasing, the musicality, the groove .... It’s a phenomenon.’ Andre Cecerelli

Comprising four long-term collaborators and friends (thus the ‘family’ tag), the band takes as its starting point the freewheeling 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. So the Family Band doesn’t recreate the work of Ornette Coleman and others, but shares its powerful and freewheeling momentum – moments of fierce intensity, introspection and the blues all combining into an emotionally complex and often cathartic whole.

Jonny Mansfield is predominantly know for his eleven piece band ‘Elftet’ playing "intricate but groove laden originals that appealed across generations.” (Jazzwise) In June 2019, Jonny released his debut album, which was recorded at Real World Studios with vibraphone virtuoso Jim Hart producing, Alex Bonney engineering as well as exciting guests Gareth Lockrane, Kit Downes and tenor legend Chris Potter. Jonny is the recipient of many awards including the Kenny Wheeler Jazz Prize as well as being nominated for an Ivors Novello award for his suite ‘On Marsden Moor’, which sets five Simon Armitage poems.

Jonny is now embarking on a new musical adventure called ‘Florilegium’ with two longstanding musical collaborators. A Florilegium is a collection of floral illustrations. These collections are used to keep records of flowers’ appearance but also medicinal properties and other uses. Producing a florilegia is a practice that dates back to 1590.

For this project, Jonny has arranged floral-themed tunes, written by his favourite composers, ranging from Debussy to Joni Mitchell. Some of the arrangements are more instantly recognisable while others are the basis for new compositions. Through this compact lineup the trio will be exploring new sounds using effects pedals, a range of keys and synths and Boz’s huge colour palette on the drums.

Drum and Bass meets Eastern Euro Folk Music, with a touch of John Zorn". Fresh high energy and intense new London project by saxist Zhenya (Eric Harland, Ambrose Akinmusire) and drummer Jamie (Sun Ra Arkestra, Native Dancer). They will preview music from upcoming album "Disrespectful".

The music is inspired by Zhenya and Jamie's musical journeys and studies, and these ideas are combined to create an organic and very original sound. Some people hear Indian influences, some Charlie Parker, some Chris Dave or Michael Brecker. The focus here is to create something very tight and precise while being totally free and creative.

Zhenya Strigalev (saxophones, electronics): Originally from St Petersburg, Russia, he’s worked with some of today’s most respected musicians (including Eric Harland, Ambrose Akinmusire, Tim Lefebvre, Chris "Daddy" Dave, Alex Sipiagin, William Parker, Aaron Parks, Joseph "Foley" McCreary from Miles Davis fame, Larry Grenadier). He has recorded 4 albums with his groups Smiling Organizm and Never Group and his music is regularly played on BBC radio as well as national radio stations in Austria, Germany, Finland, Switzerland, Australia, France. He enjoys the challenge of shining a light on the undiscovered, and describes the desired on-the-edge thrill that unfolds: “The whole point of what I do is that I need to surprise myself".

Jamie Murray (drums) A forward thinking and conceptual player, with a solid groove style yet an open minded approach to free experimentation, his performances are always fresh and exhilarating! He has played and recorded with jazz giants including the Sun Ra Arkestra Members Knoel Scott and Cecil Brooks as well as many other musicians in today's Jazz scene. Having performed with his own bands on a regular basis at Ronnie Scott’s and some major festivals including Love Supreme, Glastonbury & Afro punk in New York, Jamie Murray is a name to keep an eye on. Recently Jazzwise magazine featured him in the “Shape of Jazz to come 2019”.

Let Spin are a versatile post-jazz four piece with an egalitarian musical ethos. Comprising composer-instrumentalists Moss Freed (guitar), Ruth Goller (bass), Finlay Panter (drums), and Chris Williams (saxophone), the group formed in 2012, when Freed invited three of his favourite musicians to fill a one-off series of live dates at short notice. Recognising an irrepressible musical connection, they continued in earnest, developing their sound over a pair of critically-acclaimed studio albums, and a number of live shows throughout the UK.

Their forthcoming third album, scheduled for release in spring 2020 on Efpi Records, is a triumph in experimental post-jazz, showcasing the band’s ever-broadening web of musical influences and individual progression as composers and performers.

With their particular blend of elusive melodies, heavy grooves, euphoric improv and playfulness with time, Let Spin’s electrifying live shows have left UK audiences awe-struck. Their inspirations are far-reaching: from Rage Against The Machine to Hermeto Pascoal; Bill Frisell to J.S. Bach – coalesced into a sound that is truly their own. The enthusiasm of each performer has led them to work with some of contemporary jazz’s most exciting acts: Laura Jurd, Sarathy Korwar, Led Bib, Beats & Pieces Big Band and Melt Yourself Down amongst others. Yet, ultimately, it is within this combination that their creativity truly shines.

Winner of the BBC Scottish Young Jazz Musician of the Year at only 17, and Berklee College of Music’s prestigious Billboard Award, pianist/composer Alan Benzie is one of the UK’s most exciting young talents. He is joined by friends and long time collaborators Andrew Robb on bass (BBC Scottish Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2009; BassEurope Jazz Competition 2016 - 2nd Prize) and Marton Juhasz on drums (Foundation for Hungarian Percussion Culture Award; “Drummer of the Year” 2014 and 2015, JazzMa reader’s poll).

Their debut album “Traveller’s Tales” garnered glowing reviews from critics, and they have been delighting audiences throughout the UK and Europe, including at London International Jazz Festival and United Europe Jazz Festival. The music is rooted in European and American jazz, but is influenced by impressionist piano music and film music, and Benzie’s love of Japanese animation gives a visual, storytelling quality. From sensitive, magical textures to virtuosic explosions of energy, the trio are both sophisticated and accessible, with the warmth, empathy and interplay that can only be achieved through great friendship and years of making music together.

Four UK jazz legends unite for this special tribute to the undoubted master of the modern jazz piano trio, Bill Evans. This intimate evening in the company of true jazz greats will feature originals from Nikki and Stan as well as some Evans originals that have now entered the jazz canon.

Norma Winstone pioneered the approach to wordless vocals in jazz, as well creating countless word-settings with Kenny Wheeler, Ralph Towner and John Taylor. Stan Sulzmann’s highly personal, haunting but forward-looking style has won him many admirers and colleagues, including Gil Evans, Michael Brecker and Mike Gibbs.

Nikki Iles is a relative newcomer, whose 25 years experience playing, composing and teaching have made her one of the finest modern jazz pianists in Europe. Her fluent and creative playing has been heard with the finest UK musicians, including Kenny Wheeler and Tina May. Dave Green’s surefooted approach made him the bassist of choice for visiting artists such as Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster in the 60s and more latterly Charlie Watts. He remains in high demand today.

Lauren Kinsella Trio // 2pm

Lauren Kinsella is an Irish vocalist based in London. Her work as a composer, improviser, collaborator and performer has been described as “truly captivating” (For Folk’s Sake), “stunning” (BBC Radio 3) and with “inventive curiosity and imagination” (Irish Examiner).

Interested in the multiple relationships between music, art, poetry and dance, she loves to work with a broad range of artists. Her unique style of vocalisation involves exploring the different types of vocabulary connected with vocal and instrumental sound. From singing to speech, utterance to lexicon, syllabic deconstruction to stream of consciousness, Lauren’s work celebrates the human voice in multi-faceted ways.

Themes of conservation and the complexity of nature are explored with drummer Dave Smith and saxophonist Tom Challenger. Having premiered Radicle (a plant’s first root) at the London Jazz Festival (2018), the group continue to explore trio play providing a platform for Kinsella’s composition and text.

Improvisation to Silent Film : Nosferatu w/ José Dias Trio & Adam Fairhall

NQ Jazz film nights are always popular, and guitarist José Dias – who worked as the director of the Lisbon Jazz School but is now resident in Manchester – has made something of a specialism of improvising to silent film.

Joining José for a night of jazz horror are three of the north’s most dedicated and experienced improvisers, each with a wealth of jazz history and language at their fingertips, and each ready to command the perfect balance of surprising, fun and scary. You have been warned…
