About

This remarkable gig features a breathtaking 4-sax front line backed by Gareth Williams's exceptional piano trio, and has been a highlight of the London Jazz Festival/606 calendar since its inception. Showcasing the talents of four outstanding jazz saxophonists, each with a unique sound and approach, the evening celebrates one of jazz musicโ€™s essential instruments. This yearโ€™s lineup includes one of the UKโ€™s leading tenor sax players, Mornington Lockett. A member of Ronnie Scottโ€™s band, Mornington has worked with singer Sarah Jane Morris and the Traceyโ€™s - Stan and Clark โ€“ and was the driving force behind the brilliant โ€œCelebrating the Jazz Couriersโ€ quintet. Ed Jonesโ€™ muscular and highly accomplished bop influenced tenor playing has been featured in a wide variety of contexts, most notably with the Jazz crossover groups โ€œUs3โ€ and โ€œIncognitoโ€. But his jazz credentials are just as solid, with work alongside artists such as George Benson, Dianne Reeves, Horace Silver and Claire Martin. A 2012 alumnus of Birmingham Conservatoireโ€™s prestigious Jazz course, alto/tenor player Chris Maddock was handpicked by renowned bandleader/composer Clark Tracey for his quintet, touring extensively with the group and appearing on Clarkโ€™s album โ€œMeantimeโ€. A Yamaha Jazz Scholarship recipient, Chris also won the Mike Gibbs/BBC big band prize for Jazz Orchestra composition & arranging. Pianist Gareth Williams has unquestionably established himself as one of the countryโ€™s leading modern jazz pianists, working with Claire Martin, Jerry Bergonzi, Joe Lovano and more.
