Drummer, composer and bandleader Clark Tracey has led a number of incarnations of his quintet. The 2014 edition features the talented young musicians Henry Armburg-Jennings (trumpet, flugelhorn), Chris Maddock (alto & tenor saxes), Harry Bolt (piano) and Daniel Casimir (double bass). An album has been recorded and is due for release in the summer of 2014.
"A hugely enjoyable evening of unpretentious, hard swinging and grooving jazz with some excellent playing by Tracey, the keeper of the flame, and his young protégés."
LIVE
"Ian Mann enjoys an immersive live experience featuring full length performances of Stan Tracey's two Dylan Thomas inspired suites "Under Milk Wood" and "A Child's Christmas"."
LIVE
"This may be a showcase for the emerging vocal talent that is Emily Masser but it’s also a great band recording with all the members of the quintet contributing hugely to the success of the album."
