Basil Hodge Quartet
contemporary jazz hard bop
Influences: Horace Silver, Cedar Walton, Art Blakey
Pianist and composer Basil Hodge leads this quartet through original tunes from his acclaimed album 'A Point of Reference', alongside earlier compositions, with a cohesive blend of swing, Latin and funk rhythms. Tony Kofi's alto saxophone brings a warm, muscular voice to the front line, backed by Oli Hayhurst on double bass and Alfonso Vitale on drums. Hodge has been a fixture of the British jazz scene since the early 1990s, so this is a chance to hear a seasoned bandleader's writing performed by a tight group.
Personnel:
Basil Hodge (piano)
Tony Kofi (alto saxophone)
