DEEP TIDE QUARTET Martin Archer (Saxophones) / Kim Macari (Trumpet) / Laura Cole (Piano) / Walt Shaw (Percussion)

Featuring four of the UK's top musicians 'Deep Tide Quartet' are a contemporary Jazz group that successfully blur the lines between composition and free improvisation. Nominal band leader and Discuss Records label manager Martin Archer describes the sound as "Open ended jazz playing with no stylistic limits – written scores, graphic scores, improvisation – improvisation which is inclusive of melody and structure – whatever we feel like playing – plenty of space for the music to develop its direction – concen-trated and careful listening - ultimately rooted in, and building on the tradition of, pure jazz skill no matter where the music takes us".

Like most jazz and improvisation words can hardly do the group justice, we recommend you get yourself down to this and make up your own minds.

MAGPIE George Crowley (Sax) / Tom Farmer (Bass) / Sam Jesson (Drums)

Drummer and composer Sam Jesson has been a key figure on the London Jazz scene for some time now, and this tour marks his debut as a bandleader, in trio with Tom Farmer (Empirical) and George Crowley (Ivo Neame Quartet).

United by their love for the tradition of legendary jazz trios from Ahmed Jamal to Sonny Rollins, Oscar Peterson to Dewey Redman, the trio wind their way through many gems of the jazz canon - some lesser known than others – sometimes deconstructing and breathing new life, sometimes paying homage to classic arrange-ments, with a devoted focus on making music that feels honest and joyous.

A superb band to end another year with Jazz North East.

GREG ABATE and THE PAUL EDIS TRIO Greg Abate (Saxes and Flute) / Paul Edis (Keyboards) / Andy Champion (Bass) / Russ Morgan (Drums) Jazz saxophonist, flutist, composer Greg Abate continues as an International jazz artist touring the globe for over 225 days a year. In the mid 1970’s after finishing a four year program at Berklee College Of Music, Greg played lead alto for the Ray Charles Orches-tra for two years. In 1978 Greg formed his group 'Channel One' which was a favourite in the New England area and from there had the opportunity to play tenor sax with the revived Artie Shaw Orchestra under leadership of Dick Johnson from 1986 to 1987. Following this experience Greg ventured out as post hard bop soloist. It's great to see Greg return to Newcastle to perform with Paul Edis and the first call rhythm section featuring Andy Champion and Russ Morgan.

This concert is presented by Jazz North East in association with The Black Swan Bar and Venue at Newcastle Arts Centre.

MIKE DE SOUZA TRIOMike De Souza (Guitar and Compositions) / Huw V Williams (Double and Electric Bass) / Jay Davis (Drums)

Together they helped co-found the band ‘Big Bad Wolf'.Huw and Jay first played together as Yamaha Jazz Scholars in 2012, and since then have gone on to play together as a rhythm section in many di�erent projects. This Trio plays extensive and intricate compositions, that are bolstered by energetic improvisations, empathic interactions and daring explorations.

MARK WILLIAMS TRIO Mark Williams (Guitar) / Paul Susans (Bass) / Russ Morgan (Drums)The Mark Williams Trio draws influences from jazz, blues, rock, fusion and metal to create original music that is unique, diverse and honest.
