Sam Quintana Trio Virtual GigSeptember 19th, 2020

This is the latest Digital Gig for you, specially commissioned by Kenilworth Jazz.  Hope you enjoy the trio and make a donation if you do…

When the beginning of lockdown put a stop to live music for the then foreseeable future, the residents of 9 De Lacy Mount started streaming concerts from the comfort of their living room. The group used this as an opportunity to delve deeper into the repertoire of their favourite jazz composers whilst continuing to engage with music lovers in Leeds and further afield. Featuring the music of a different jazz stalwart each week, the chamber ensemble have performed unique arrangements by the likes of Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, Antonio Carlos Jobim and more. In this performance for Jazz West Midlands the trio will be playing a selection of their favourite tunes discovered through this project.

Woods was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. He studied music with Lennie Tristano, who influenced him greatly, at the Manhattan School of Music and at the Juilliard School. His friend, Joe Lopes, coached him on clarinet as there was no saxophone major at Juilliard at the time. Although he did not copy Charlie “Bird” Parker, he was known as the New Bird, a nickname also given to other alto saxophone players such as Sonny Stitt and Cannonball Adderley.
