Julian Siegel by Bob Meyrick

Julian's band promises to be another highlight from an already fascinating musician and his peers. As well as being a platform for his soloing and compositions, it's a showcase for all of these highly individual virtuosi.

Julian has established himself alongside the most creative forces in the UK, USA and beyond; as one quarter of the influential Partisans and a former member of Loose Tubes, he helped take the small jazz group sound into new areas. As well as playing with major composers and bandleaders such as Mike Gibbs, Hermeto Pascoal, Andrew Hill, Steve Lacy and Django Bates, he formed a trio including the influential US rhythm pairing of Greg Cohen and Joey Baron.

Tonight's quartet toured around Europe earlier this year as part of a special festival of UK jazz; they have a new CD available, Urban Theme Park, which is already gaining praise for the inventive range of styles on display. It features all tonight's players; Liam consistently delivers a world class sensibility as pianist, composer, bandleader and as a recent partner on Christine Tobin's Tapestry performance.

Oli's experience includes the finest jazz players – Gwilym Simcock, Tim Whitehead, Bobby Wellins, Zoe Rahman, Jim Mullen – and leading Irish folk singer Cara Dillon. He was a founder member of the Orient House Ensemble, and has since toured the Middle East with Reem Kelani.

Gene remains one of our most popular visiting drummers. He brings a taste of his native New York to his playing, and the wealth of experience and work rate gained during his studies on the famed Berklee jazz course – not for the faint-hearted, with fellow students being Marvin 'Smitty' Smith and Jeff 'Tain' Watts. His most established presence in the UK is alongside Julian in Partisans, and he also appears with Zoe Rahman, Christine Tobin, Bobby Wellins and others.
