Rising star is a winner
SHEFFIELD Jazz welcomes saxophonist Simon Spillett as their next guest at the Millennium Hall, Sheffield.
Winner of the 2007 BBC Jazz Award for Rising Star Simon's driving and energised style has often been compared favourably with that of his idol, the late great Tubby Hayes,arguably the most accomplished of the post-war British Bebop generation, and his approach does indeed share a similar love of dare-devil tempos and all-out, no-holds-barred, intensity.
Spillett's current quartet is one of the most energetic groups on the jazz circuit and features pianist John Critchinson, bassistArnie Somogyiand drummer Martin Drew.
Admission for the event on January 22 is 11, conc 8. For further information visit www.sheffieldjazz.org.uk.
