Event information

The Jon Lloyd Quintet is a new group playing a contemporary synthesis of ECM, post-bop, free-jazz and modal styles.

The group comprises several great musicians at the top of their game. John Law is currently touring with his highly successful Art of Sound Trio. Drummer Asaf Sirkis plays with Gilad Atzmon, Tim Garland’s Lighthouse Trio and Gary Husband, as well as with his own group. Guitarist Rob Palmer has worked with violinist Phil Wachsmann and composer Daniel Biro. Rodney Teague is a superb session electric bassist. Jon Lloyd is a soprano saxophonist best known for his free-jazz quartet featuring John Law, Paul Rogers and Mark Sanders and many other improvised, jazz and composed projects.

'Ambitious and virtuosic...Jon Lloyd is one of the most striking writers at the sharp end of British jazz and improvisation' (John Fordham, The Guardian).
