SUMMARY:Ed Jones Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM - 2 set(s) of music\n \nLine-up:\nEd Jones - Tenor saxophone\nRebecca Nash - Piano\nRiaan Vosloo - Double bass\nTim Giles - Drum kit\n\n \nAbout\nAward-winning saxophonist and composer Ed Jones returns to the quartet format that first established his presence on the UK jazz scene over 30 years ago. Formed in 2011\, the quartet initially took inspiration from the music of Wayne Shorter but has since evolved into a dynamic ensemble where original compositions by Jones and bassist Riaan Vosloo take centre stage\, enriched by the creative interplay of pianist Ross Stanley and drummer Tim Giles.\n\nThrough extensive touring\, the group has forged a distinctive collective sound that blends fiercely driven\, intense “fire music” with spacious\, atmospheric improvisational soundscapes. This duality shines through both in their strikingly original works and in their imaginative re-interpretations of the American songbook.\n\nFor this special performance\, the quartet will be joined by the acclaimed pianist and composer Rebecca Nash\, following her recent collaboration with Jones on his Southbank Commission Lotus Code.\n\n“A formidable saxophonist. Ed Jones may have hit his highest profile through his work with bands US3 and Incognito\, but he’s an improviser to his fingertips\, a player of forceful imagination\, and one of the UK’s most distinctive saxophonists.” John Fordham\, The Guardian.\n\n“For Best gigs of the Year Ed Jones at Lauderdale House-with all the swagger and sound of Rollins in his prime (with Ross Stanley\, Riaan Vosloo and Tim Giles) – came close to choose for Musician/Band of the Year.” LondonJazzNews.com\n\n“The Vigorous\, sometimes downright volcanic tenor sound of Ed Jones has long been one of the great live delights of British Jazz. His barnstorming ‘terrier with a rat’ approach raises the music’s temperature whenever he solos\,” Chris Parker\, Jazzwise.\n\n“Risk-taking arrangements and compositions\, seriously engaging territory” Tom Barlow Jazzwise\n\n \n\n[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmlgwoyLwA4[/embed]
