Joel Purnell + MG3
We welcome back Joel Purnell, internationally recognised and critically acclaimed saxophonist, widely considered as one of the UK’s leading contemporary jazz musicians and educators. Influenced by both hard and post-bop players, Purnell 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 & The Guardian speak of “fire breathing solos” delivered with “immaculate taste”, conveying a style reminiscent of the legendary jazz saxophonists John Coltrane & Michael Brecker.
Holding the post as Principal Lecturer at Leeds Conservatoire for over 25 years, Joel also conducts frequent masterclasses throughout the UK and heads up the content creation team for Sax School Online, one of the largest saxophone education websites worldwide. And tonight he’s all ours, backed by the MG3.
