We complete our new season with a cracking band fronted by the young trumpeter Henry Armburg-Jennings. A proponent of the fast-moving bebop style, Henry is a brilliant soloist and one-time NYJO star, teamed here with the fervent altoist Alex Garnett and the burly Australian tenor-saxophonist Brandon Allen in a front-line imbued with vigour and enterprise. These younger-generation players are helping to place British jazz at the forefront of world jazz. They need and possess a rhythm section of similar class. Pianist Leon Greening is the one player wanted by every bandleader; he’s propulsive, tumultuous and hugely enthusiastic, qualities that apply equally to the playing of US bassist Mike Janisch and the ever-smiling Steve Brown, impeccable on drums. Theirs is commanding music, full of vim and vitality and we’re delighted to welcome them to Pinner.
