Ben Crosland Quartet with special guest Steve Waterman
Bass guitarist Ben Crosland is one of the North’s most experienced jazz musicians, having been leading bands for over 30 years. He has worked as a sideman with many leading US and UK soloists including Jean Toussaint, Ken Peplowski, Harry Allen, George Masso, John Surman, Henry Lowther, Stan Sulzman, Frank Ricotti and John Etheridge.
Founded in 2006, the Quartet features Rod Mason (saxophones), Dean Stockdale (piano) and Dave Tyas (drums), all leading figures on the northern jazz scene. Each member of the band is a leader in his own right and this relaxed joining of kindred spirits produces an open, mature and energetic performance in which there are no conflicting egos, only a desire to enjoy each other’s company, play good music and entertain.
To celebrate 20 years together as a band, the Quartet has recorded an album of new compositions by Crosland, ‘Wooltown Reflections’, with special guest trumpeter Steve Waterman, who joins the Quartet for tonight’s performance
