Matt Anderson
post-bop contemporary jazz modal jazz
Influences: Wayne Shorter, Ivo Neame, Greg Hutchison
Matt Anderson's tenor saxophone leads this Leeds-rooted quartet through original compositions that marry traditional jazz swing and blues sensibility with modal harmony, contemporary voicings, and British folk melodicism. A decade into their partnership, forged at the Royal Academy of Music, the ensemble has developed the kind of integrated confidence that Jazzwise praised in their four-star review of Live at Leeds Jazz Festival, delivering soulful musicality anchored in jazz tradition but unafraid to venture into less familiar harmonic territory.
Personnel:
Matt Anderson (tenor saxophone)
