Timeline Quintet
Timeline (ex Green Tangerines), born out of the bubbling Liverpool jazz scene, draw their sound from 70's groove-based Jazz Fusion.

They will be playing a mixture of fresh originals inspired by the powerful double-barrelled sound of Mike Stern/Brecker and Mark Lettieri/Bob Reynolds sound. Between them they have supported the likes of fusion heavyweights Robben Ford, MonoNeon and Stanley Clarke. Inspired by 70s Jazz Fusion, Timeline have found a distinct sound - an almost 'Nu-Fusion'

Since forming in 2017 the quintet have taken their music further afield, playing the International Blues on the Bay Festival, as well as a BBC Radio Ulster live session. They have continued to shake up the jazz scenes in Bristol night clubs. The band are a pillar of the Northern jazz community, with their most notable gig to date being in November 2021 supporting MonoNeon at Future Yard, Birkenhead.

Dubbed by 'Get Into This' as "A band that everyone is going to be talking about. Life-enhancing," they're one to watch.

They comprise of:
Sarah Sands - saxophone
Jack O’Hanlon - guitar
Tom Barber - piano
Dan Barreto - bass / double bass
Ben Johnson - Drums
