The Julian Costello Quartet
Julian Costello
Entry Requirements: Under 18s to be accompanied by an appropriate adult
The Julian Costello quartet released “Transitions” (33Jazz Records) in 2017 to great critical acclaim. They have since toured the UK twice with Arts Council funding, were recently invited into the BBC studios in Oxford to perform live in session, performed in Paris and St Etienne and then toured Poland, Germany and Belgium in March. This concert is part of the Connections Tour of the UK in May/June. "Julian Costello is a sax lyricist, telling his stories of life’s ups and downs with perfect alteration of tone to impart strength, humour and even frailty at times. This is a great album, strong, tenacious in its quality and simply makes a great listen…." Sammie Stein Jazz in Europe. "There's a sense of graceful lyricism, combined with an inner strength, in the playing of tenor and soprano saxophonist Julian Costello........Costello's improvising is carefully crafted, beauifully structured, and mellow. Beautiful performances, and highly recommended…." John Watson. 8.00pm Tickets £10 in advance & £12 on the door
