Jazz at The Salisbury Presents - Sunday the 7th of December- Nicholas Costley White Band + Hans Koller/ Martin Speake Band

An amazing gig at the Salisbury this sunday featuring some of the UK's top Jazz players

The Nick Costley-White Quartet

The Nick Costley-White Quartet is a new ensemble which Nick uses to explore his own compositions and arrangements. The sound of the quartet draws on influences from the New York contemporary scene, as well as the more cerebral colour found in European improvised music. Nick's compositions feature dense harmonic and rhythmic counterpoints alongside much simpler song forms, lending stylistic breadth and depth to the quartet's repertoire. 

"A classy player with an elegant and subtle way with a good tune" Sebastian Scotney, London Jazz News

"Fluent and sensitive" John Fordham, The Guardian

"A lovely soloist" Peter Bacon, The Jazz Breakfast

The Quartet features Nick on guitar (Yamaha Jazz Scholar 2011, Martin Speake trio, London Jazz Orchestra) Dave Hamblet (Yamaha Jazz Scholar 2010, Ivo Neame, Abram Wilson) on drums, Matt Robinson (Yamaha Jazz Scholar 2012, Reuben Fowler Big Band) on Piano, Conner Chaplin, and for this gig the group will feature special guest Sam Rapley on bass clarinet
