Live Jazz London

Influences: Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Wayne Shorter

Daniele Gorgone leads his own quintet, playing saxophone in a style rooted in acoustic hard bop with contemporary harmonic touches. Expect driving grooves, horn-led melodies and open improvised solos that move between swinging and more contemplative passages. He is an Italian-born saxophonist and bandleader who has built his reputation on the London jazz circuit, bringing a European perspective to American jazz traditions.
