‘A fierce talent’ Jazzwise Magazine

‘Wonderfully rich toned … a nuanced and original sound' Time Out

 

Composer and Saxophonist Josh Kemp brings a stellar ensemble to play an intimate gig. Thoughtful and melodic jazz delivered with a lyrical improvising style and attractive compositions, blending the 'Blue Note' tradition with a fresh melodic contemporary sound.

 

Expect high-energy swing with an enjoyable and relaxed groove. Original pieces in a contemporary style and bluesy standards rooted in the tradition, featuring the UK’s top Hammond player Ross Stanley, and stalwart of the UK jazz scene Tristan Maillot.

 

Living in London, but Cambridge born and bred, Josh Kemp has released 5 CDs of original compositions to widespread acclaim, and completed several Arts Council tours, performing at Ronnie Scotts and Jazz Clubs and Festivals around the UK.
