The curiously named Doug Sides Legacy Band is a quartet featuring current students and recent graduates from the Jazz Course at Birmingham Conservatoire.
They take their name from the American born drummer Doug Sides (1942 – 2024), an inspirational figure who made a big impression on the members of the young quartet during the brief period that they knew him. Reuben-James (R.J.) Gilbert – alto & tenor saxophones, Ollie Canham – guitar, Nick Manz – double bass, Dominic Johnson – drums.
