About
A rare visit from this legendary quintet bringing together some of the leading musicians of Euro-Jazz. Formed in 1976 the European Jazz Ensemble have become a jazz legend. In the years since almost every major European player of the generation inspired by John Coltrane has passed through their ranks. Former members have included Enrico Rava, Philip Catherine, Charlie Mariano, and the late great Tony Levin. Three of the original members of the quintet are still present in the current band - saxmen Alan Skidmore and Gerd Dudek, plus bassist Ali Haurand, now complemented by Steve Melling on piano and Clark Tracey on drums. A must for lovers of contemporary jazz!...
