The Black Box in Belfast hosts saxophonist Dave Binney's Quartet on Sunday 11 May, as part of a short Irish tour, a rare sighting in the city for the Downtown-schooled American player.

Joined by “space age” keys player Craig Taborn, recently heard with Tim Berne at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival, drummer Brian Blade whose new album Season Of Changes with his Fellowship band has just been released, and acclaimed bassist Scott Colley whose own disc, Architect of the Silent Moment, came out last year, Binney, who was born in Miami but grew up in southern California moved to New York as a teenager and made his debut in 1989, Point Game, for Owl. He’s best known to European audiences for his albums South and Balance on ACT.
