27th September 2016: Ivo Neame Quintet starts tour this week ft. Tori Freestone, Jim Hart, Huw Williams and Dave Hamblett
Collaborating again with UK luminaries (including three fellow Whirlwind artists) Tori Freestone (saxes/flutes), Jim Hart (vibraphone), Tom Farmer (bass) and Dave Hamblett (drums), this collection of eight Ivo Neame originals gyrates energetically with complex written grooves and varying instrumental colors to spark opportunities for venturous, improvised blowing. A player whose style – whether through programmatic or differing improvisatory structures – is certainly distinct amongst today’s jazz pianists, his particular aspiration for Strata is that it might reveal “memorable themes which make an impact on the listener, both musically and emotionally”.
This week, Ivo starts his tour of the UK with his quintet featuring Tori Freestone (saxes/flute), Jim Hart (vibraphone), Huw Williams (bass) and Dave Hamblett (drums.)
