Here’s the Quartet “cooking up a New Orleans groove”

 

Their album 'You’ve got to Dig It to Dig It, You Dig?' received a 5-star review in 'The Guardian' -

"To get some idea of the sheer breadth of his accomplishment as a saxophonist, composer and bandleader, you should hear this. From smooth cool to groovy funk, to ingeniously recast standards, to one quite gorgeous ballad, the music fizzes with energy, even at its most restrained"

“Terrific musician, terrific band. A bravura display of contemporary saxophone” – The Observer

Breathtaking” – Sunday Times
