Joel Purnell

The outstanding saxophonist and composer, Joel Purnell, returns to Scarborough Jazz Club. With a growing international profile, Purnell is acknowledged as one of the UK's most respected and exciting contemporary jazz musicians.

His latest album Red Shift won international critical acclaim, Jazzwise Magazine portraying his style as "reminiscent of John Coltrane", while The Guardian & Jazz UK describe him as "a muscular, assertive saxophonist whose fluent solos show a strong sense of direction." Though "a subtle tone-colourist on ballads", Purnell also demonstrates "the kind of attacking, melodically twisting approach that shows how powerfully he has absorbed the legacy of Michael Brecker."

As one of the most sought after musicians and jazz educators in the UK, Joel Purnell is highly regarded by music academics and students alike and was recently nominated as 'Jazz Educator of the Year' in the Jazz Yorkshire Awards.

With the Mike Gordon trio.
