Jack Pearce Quintet
We welcome the Jack Pearce Quintet. A band of Leeds Conservatoire Alumni, the Quintet fuses melodic and technical excellence, showcasing Jack’s original compositions that pay homage to jazz traditions while injecting a fresh, inventive spirit.
Drawing heavily on the influence of hard and post-bop players, the music also has a strong sense of the rock music Jack grew up on. His compositions effortlessly blend genres, creating a uniquely open and interactive approach. Strong rhythms underpin vibrant, playful melodies creating a fusion complementary to both traditional and modern jazz.
The band’s strength is particularly apparent in a live setting where countless hours that have been dedicated to every facet of the music have been refined on stage, culminating in an exciting musical experience.
Alongside Jack on saxophone are Jascha Bingham (piano), whose trio recently won the Bucharest International Jazz Competition, Sam Hughes (guitar), Dan Sanderson (bass) and Angus Haygarth (drums).
Doors 7.45. Music 8.15. Minimum donation £5.
