January

4th January
Milestone Jazz Club

The Barry Green Quartet

The young pianist with the mercurial touch has become a dynamic presence on the UK jazz scene in recent years, his intricate and assertive, genre-skipping virtuosity heard with Bobby Wellins, Ingrid Laubrock and Tina May. His own band focuses mainly on his own evocative compositions, with powerful support from Mark Hanslip (tenor sax), Oli Hayhurst (double bass) and Tim Giles (drums).

'The one who really shone was pianist Barry Green. Watching his imagination unfurl was an engaging experience and turned out to be the keenest musical pleasure of the evening'
Ivan Hewett, Daily Telegraph
