EJBF: Roy Hargrove Quintet; Brian Kellock Trio
31 July 2009 at 8:30pmat The Queen's Hall
The trumpeter with the golden sound is not yet 40, but seems to have been around for a lifetime. His mercurial playing has graced the bands of the greats: from Sonny Rollins to Herbie Hancock, but its his own hip, sharp and sophisticated Quintet that have forged his reputation as the flame-holder of the great jazz trumpet tradition of Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, and Lee Morgan. He swings and grooves, and plays the most beautiful trumpet you can hear in jazz today.
“Fiery urgency and restless charm" (The Guardian)

Torrential, exciting piano from Brian Kellock Trio who jam-pack every tune with inspiration and humour. Kellock's extended improvising and splicing from stride to free jazz sit alongside astonishing delicacy and a sonority of touch.
