Way Out West Allstars present their favourite summer-themed jazz standards and compositions for their only August gig hosted by pianist Tom Millar. Featuring Tom Millar - piano, Chris Biscoe - saxes and Gary Willcox - drums along with surprise guests. Expect to hear classic summer songs 'Summer Night', ‘The Summer Knows', 'Estate', 'Summer in Central Park', 'Indian Summer' and more seasonal classics. Way Out West is a unique collective of jazz musicians. Diverse improvisation, performance, arranging, composition, all come to the forefront in full force as the collective presents each member’s work or as in this evenings concert as the members converge into an All Stars WOW Group. "Millar's writing is part of a lineage of polished modernism whose building blocks are to be found in the holy trinity of Herbie, Chick and Bill Evans, but whose additional masonry has pleasing echoes of their scions, namely Pat Metheny and Brian Blade. At its highpoint the performance reaches a poetic, pastoral grace….." Kevin Le Gendre, Jazzwise.
