Described as “A band about to make its mark on UK Jazz”, The Jack Pearce Quintet showcases Jack’s original compositions that pay homage to jazz traditions while injecting a fresh, inventive spirit. A band of Leeds Conservatoire Alumni, the Jack Pearce Quintet focuses on a fusion of melodic and technical excellence. Drawing influence from Post-bop and 90s world fusion, the original compositions have a uniquely open and interactive approach. The band’s strength is particularly apparent in a live setting where countless hours have been dedicated to every facet of the music, then refined on the stage, culminating in an exciting musical experience. Strong rhythms underpin vibrant, playful melodies creating a fusion complimentary to both traditional and modern jazz. Coming off the success of their first UK tour, the Jack Pearce Quintet are quickly building a reputation as a band to watch on the UK jazz scene.

Orange Claw Hammer take the music of Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band and bend it into shape for the 21st century. Founded in 2011 by musician & composer Steve Kettley (Pygmy Twylyte, Cauld Blast Orchestra, Salsa Celtica, Odd Times), the band’s sax driven, mostly instrumental reworkings of Don Van Vliet’s back catalogue highlight the blues, jazz and experimental roots of this music. A million miles from being a tribute act, Orange Claw Hammer take classics of avant-rock from the 60s through to the 80s and use them as vehicles for improvisation and re-invention for contemporary sensibilities – and Beefheart fanatics!

Steve Kettley – tenor & soprano saxes, voice

Stuart Allardyce – guitar

Dave Beards – bass

Des Travis – drums
