Simon Woolf's Jazz Cello Project
swing contemporary jazz
Influences: Oscar Pettiford, Fred Katz, Ruby Braff
Simon Woolf plays jazz cello in this project, with flautist Gareth Lockrane, performing classic jazz standards and originals in the swinging jazz tradition. Woolf is a double bass veteran of close to five decades who has worked with Benny Golson, Harry Allen, Ralph Moore and Ruby Braff, and he brings that bass-player fluency to the cello. The band is rounded out by Oli Hayhurst on bass and Joe Edwards on drums.
