Jazz at Karamel - Profiles Quartet

An evening with Chris Biscoe, saxes, alto clarinet; Tony Kofi, saxes; Larry Bartley, bass; Stu Butterfield, drums

BBC double-award winner Tony Kofi joins Chris Biscoe in an exploration of the musical legacies of the extraordinary bassist, composer and bandleader Charles Mingus, and of reeds virtuoso Eric Dolphy. The band features music written by Eric Dolphy and tunes from Oliver Nelson, Fats Waller, Monk and Mingus which he recorded.

“The four men thrive on each other’s energy, respecting the compositions while investing them with terrific verve and enthusiasm. The result is a fiery display of musical skill, dynamics and almost telepathic understanding between the players” – Bruce Lindsay, All About Jazz
