Annie Whitehead Quartet

Event information

Annie Whitehead Quartet
Originally formed in 1994 to play material from Annie's albums 'Naked', 'Home' and 'The Gathering', the band has since toured the UK extensively, making appearances at the Bracknell, Brecon and Glasgow jazz festivals.

Bassist and multi-instrumentalist Jennifer Maidman produced Annie's last three albums and, amongst others, has played with David Sylvian, Gerry Rafferty, Boy George, Joan Armatrading and The Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

Steve Lodder (keyboards), is one of Europe's finest jazz musicians and has worked with John Etheridge, George Russell's 'Living Time Orchestra' and has toured and recorded with Andy Sheppards 'Inco-motion'.

Drummer Liam Genockey toured and recorded with Steeleye Span and Trevor Watt's Drum Orchestra. He has also worked with Gerry Rafferty, Paul Brady and Elton Dean.

'A powerful mixture of African grooves, blustery free jazz, almost Ellingtonian expressionism at times and bursts of driving blues' (The Guardian Guide).
