Event information
"The band admirably reflects the independent creativity of the new Manchester scene." - John Fordham on Johnny Hunter Quartet, The Guardian
Johnny Hunter is a drummer and band-leader at the heart of the thriving Manchester scene. Signed to the EFPI label that also house all-conquering big band Beats & Pieces, Hunter is coming down to the Vortex to play material from his debut album 'While We Still Can'.
He is joined by some of the top players from Jazz's Northern Powerhouse including Mark Hanslip (Outhouse, Loop Collective) on Sax, Graham South (Beats & Pieces Big Band) on Trumpet, and Seth Bennett (IDST) on Bass.
Hunter's music explores the possibilities and challenges afforded by the absence of a harmony instrument, and can be compared to freer, more exploratory artists like Joe Harriot, Ornette Coleman, and Henry Threadgil.
