Murray Robinson + MG3
On April 24th, in a change to our advertised programme, we welcome for the first time as guest soloist, saxophonist Murray Robinson. Murray is already well known to club audiences having played the very first New Jazz Generation slot and as a recurring guest since.
Currently in his second year at Leeds Conservatoire, he is heavily influenced by the Japanese jazz culture and how they fuse their own traditional sound with jazz to create something entirely different. He tries to implement some of these sounds in his own playing to honour both the Western and Eastern parts of the jazz tradition.
His influences also include current saxophone giants such as Eric Alexander, Joel Frahm and Patrick Bartley, whose sounds and ideas inspire Murray as perfect examples of what jazz sounds like today. Murray plans to play mostly standards but with some arrangements by the players he admires.
Doors 7.45. Music 8.15. Minimum donation £5.
