Partisans

Event information

Gritty be-bop and hard bop, early electric Miles, rock riffs, grooves and ballads with sustained delicacy – Partisans are one of the first of the new wave of UK jazz bands to be influenced as much by Jimi Hendrix as by Miles Davis or Sonny Rollins and their visceral, groove-based sound bridges the gap between New York swing and rock. Julian Siegel (sax, bass clarinet), Phil Robson (guitar), Thaddeus Kelly (bass), Gene Calderazzo (drums) plus Jim Watson (organ). 'One of the most exciting all-star experimental groups in Jazz today' (BBC Radio 3 Jazz Line Up).
