Event 1
Dave Stapleton Quintet
– Christ College Stage
Since releasing their last album The House Always Wins in 2007, this powerful Quintet have wowed audiences throughout the UK and Europe and have received 5-star reviews in the press. Stapleton has gained a reputation as an ambitious composer – his contemporary high energy jazz, with its powerful riffs and melodic hooks, echoes the excitement of 1960s Blue Note bebop.
‘An ebullient third album, made for the label he co-founded, by the same powerful quintet he started out with. Stapleton draws on a wide range of enthusiasms, from Herbie Hancock's 1970s Mwandishi band to Keith Jarrett's quartet with Jan Garbarek.' John Fordham, The Guardian
