The acclaimed saxophonist and his hard-hitting band head out on a multi-date tour
The Julian Siegel Quartet, led by the BBC Jazz Award-winning saxophonist and composer, is set to hit the road around Ireland and England this spring. The band features leading pianist Liam Noble, renowned for his fluid touch and highly imaginative playing, who complements Siegel’s music, and provides the perfect foil for the many directions the music can turn. With the creative spark of dynamic drummer Gene Calderazzo and the deep groove of bassist Oli Hayhurst dove-tailing with sax and piano, all combine into one of the UK’s most exciting and powerful quartets.
Following their award-winning album Urban Theme Park (Basho Music), 2018 saw the release of VISTA, the second album of the Julian Siegel Quartet and the first on the Whirlwind Recordings label. The album features ten of Julian’s compositions plus an arrangement of Bud Powell’s ‘Un Poco Loco’. This acoustic set of music moves freely through varied sound worlds and colours, from undercurrents of bop to searching ballads and joyful melodies.
