Ricardo Alvarez Quartet
We welcome Chilean saxophonist Ricardo Alvarez, returning after an
absence of six years. Ricardo came to York in 2010 to do a PhD in music,
having already performed at jazz festivals throughout the American continent
and as a session musician on over thirty albums. After wowing the audience
with two gigs at the club in 2018 and his first album, Huay Not, Ricardo
returned to Chile.
Now he’s back for a brief tour presenting a series of concerts,
including compositions from his new album Bar Ingles. If you didn’t
catch him first time round, Ricardo’s music fuses jazz and Latin
American music in a very pleasing way.
His Quartet features guitarist Jiannis Pavlidis, who teaches at Leeds Conservatoire and has performed and recorded all over Europe and USA, with Emlyn Vaughan on bass and club favourite John Settle on drums.
This promises to be something special.
Doors 7.45. Music 8.15. £5 minimum donation.
