Joel Purnell
Support: Jacob Robinsion
We welcome back one of the club’s regular guests, saxophonist Joel Purnell. Joel’s playing effortlessly blends a virtuosic technique with an emotive sense of musical expression to create a unique and instantly recognisable voice. Jazz UK said, ‘this is how the contemporary tenor ought to sound’, while Jazzwise Magazine and The Guardian refer to ‘fire breathing solos’ delivered with ‘immaculate taste’ in a style reminiscent of John Coltrane & Michael Brecker.
In addition to being a leading exponent of contemporary jazz, Joel is also Principal Lecturer at Leeds Conservatoire, where he teaches jazz saxophone, improvisation, harmony and performance techniques to the next generation. Tonight he is backed by our MG3.
Our NJG support tonight is a group led by a young saxophonist, Jacob Robinsion, who has been creating quite an impression in recent performances at Scarborough Jazz.
Doors 7.45. Music 8.00. Minimum donation £5. Students and under 18s half price.
