Steve Banks Quintet - Birmingham Symphony Hall
Described in Jazzwise Magazine as evoking a “Metheny-esque lyricism”, guitarist Steve Banks presents Steve Banks Quintet featuring musicians from the forefront of UK jazz.
The quintet showcases Steve’s original compositions encompassing deep contemporary grooves, Brazilian and swing influences, lush harmonies and memorable melodic hooks and includes a performance of his recently released 'Emboldened' suite. The rich and dynamic musical landscapes created by the quintet are redolent of The Impossible Gentlemen, Maria Schneider, Fred Hersch and Bill Frisell, providing a showcase for Steve’s expressive, resonant and distinctive voice.
This B:Music event is free admission in the beautiful new Jennifer Blackwell Performance Space.
