Party: Dave O'Higgins Quartet

Dave is rightly acknowledged as one of Britain's finest Contemporary jazz musicians

Saxophonist Dave O’Higgins evokes an impassioned sound somewhere between Dexter Gordon and John Coltrane with an excellent sense of pacing and presentation. He feels his main apprenticeships were served with John Dankworth and Cleo Laine, Jim Mullen and Martin Taylor.

Dave brings a very classy trio. Rob Barron has a list of credits to die for. Geoff Gascoyne and Sebastiaan de Krom are firm Fleece Jazz favourites.

This quartet plays some of the most swinging music you will hear today - straight-ahead jazz firmly in the harmonic and melodic tradition, played by some of the finest UK-based jazz musicians. – The Observer
