Joe Boyle's Union
post-bop contemporary jazz free jazz
Influences: Charles Mingus, Scott LaFaro, Ornette Coleman
Joe Boyle plays double bass and leads this quartet with Sam Glaser on saxophones, Sam Leak on piano and Dougal Taylor on drums. The debut album "Welcome to the New World" blends traditional jazz, classical writing, psychedelic rock, free improvisation and South African township rhythms across seven original compositions, driven by Boyle's powerful, propulsive bass. The set is built around his own writing, so expect a band that moves between ballads and high-energy passages.
Personnel:
Joe Boyle (double bass)
Sam Glaser (alto saxophone, tenor saxophone)
Sam Leak (piano)
Dougal Taylor (drum kit)
