I spent 4 years studying the masterworks of the symphonic literature and was amazed by how these composers are able to create music of such intensity and weight, yet present their ideas logically and develop them organically. I wanted to explore the depth of how a composer like Brahms can extract an entire Sonata form movement out of the distance between 2 notes; or the virtuosic way that Mahler manipulates one idea after another and connects them into such an obvious narrative. Great improvisers do this in solos – I wanted to try to extend this into the broader architecture of the pieces; to include the solos; and then to develop even further in the way that a Symphony or Suite would. That’s probably why I\nneed 11 musicians!”\nThe music weaves and gallops through key areas; catapulted between the instrumental colours of the ensemble; with space for improvisation in, over and around the ever-changing treatment of\nthematic material. Three saxophones plus brass quintet will be strapped in for this eclectic writing, with a killer rhythm section to cling to. This will be a night of great music with a different angle – Jazz from a different perspective.\nDrums – Jason Isaac\nPiano –  Gavin Ahearn\nBass – Peter Kohlhoff\nTrumpets - Simon Ferenci & Matthew Collins\nFrench Horn - Michael Wray\nSaxophones - Murray Jackson, James Loughnan & Nick Bowd\nTrombones – James Greening & Mark Barnsley
