Leeds Jazz presents
Julian Siegel Trio
Thurs Jan 15th, 20.30, at Seven, Chapel Allerton
Julian Siegel(saxophones); Greg Cohen(bass); Joey Baron(drums).
This trio originally came together as a result of a major commission
from the Cheltenham International Jazz Festival in 2006, but has
developed into a real meeting of musical minds who enjoy each other's
company. Siegel and the ace downtown New York rhythm section of Greg
Cohen (double bass) and Joey Baron (drums) create real fireworks and
provide a perfect setting for fresh improvisations and great dialogue
between the musicians, who between them share an impressive CV.
Julian Siegel has played with Hermeto Pascoal, Bill Frisell, Andrew
Hill, Partisans, Django Bates and Steve Lacy; Greg Cohen has played
with Ornette Coleman's Quartet, John Zorn, Lee Konitz and has been
featured on many of Tom Waits classic Records; Joey Baron has played
and recorded with Dizzy Gillespie, Carmen McRae, John Zorn, Dave
Douglas, Joe Lovano, the Bill Frisell band, John Taylor and John
Scofield to name a few.
Julian Siegel received the award for Best Instrumentalist in the 2007
BBC Jazz Awards.
