TOM GREEN SEPTET

Event information

TOM GREEN SEPTET - TOM GREEN trombone/compositions, MATTHEW HERD - alto/soprano sax, SAM MILES - tenor sax, JAMES DAVISON trumpet/flugelhorn, SAM JAMES piano, MISHA MULLOV-ABBADO bass & SCOTT CHAPMAN drums. The Tom Green Septet weaves together influences as diverse as Brazilian Choro to New Orleans second line, to form tunes with striking melodies, colourful harmony and propulsive grooves. The group has spent time refining its material through live performances at venues including the Forge, the Stables and Wigmore Hall to create a cohesive and unique group voice. Bringing together some of the most talented young musicians in the London jazz scene, the group creates a distinct sound world using the full range of textures available in the seven-piece ensemble, and has been slowly gaining a strong following and fine reviews since its inception. "I've been involved in jazz for more than 60 years and this is some of the most exciting original new music I have heard for a long time. Tom's writing has complexity, depth and intensity but above all a strong melodic thread… played with fantastic energy and a true band sound" Dame Cleo Laine, June 2013 http://www.tomgreen.org.uk Doors open 6pm, music 8-11pm. £10/£8 advance, students, MU
