Party: Jazz Funk with The Dan Banks Quintet

Party: Jazz Funk with The Dan Banks Quintet

“Without mimicry, Banks reimagines the indomitable spirit of such masters as Red Garland, Wynton Kelly, Bobby Timmons, Horace Silver and their peers.”
—Jack Bowers (All About Jazz)

“[in] his debut as a leader, he shows mastery of the hardbop idiom as composer, soloist and bandleader…if this particular band plays near you, you should try to catch it; fans of the idiom won’t be disappointed.”
—Mark Gilbert (Jazz Journal)

This evening will feature The Dan Banks Quintet consisting of the outstanding talents of Roberto Manzin (saxophone), Paul Higgs (trumpet), José Canha (double bass), Josh Law (drums), and Dan Banks (piano). The band will play a mixture of originals from Dan and choice material from the jazz canon. If you're into the classic Blue Note jazz sound of the 50s and 60s (and aren't opposed to a subtle injection of modernity), this evening will be for you. One not to be missed!

Previous guests include: Jason Rebello (Piano), Laurence Cottle (Bass), Yazz Ahmed (Trumpet), Paul Higgs (Trumpet), Reg Webb (Piano), Jim Mullen (Guitar), Gareth Lockrane (Flute), Vasilis Xenopoulos (Saxophone), Roberto Manzin (Saxophone), Tony Sandeman (Guitar), The Hearn Brothers (Bass, Guitar).
