Dave Jones Quintet

About the show

Following the quintet’s previous projects ‘A Hole in One’ and ‘A Hole in Two’, they now have a new project for 2026 - ‘2 Down and 1 Across’ featuring new interpretations of tunes from Songbook, arguably the finest album by Kenny Garrett, alongside new and not so new tunes by pianist/composer Dave Jones.

The opening tune of Garrett’s Songbook album, ‘2 Down and 1 Across’, gives a dramatic start to arguably his finest album, bringing together a particularly strong set of compositions and one of his finest line-ups featuring the late great pianist Kenny Kirkland and Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts on the drums. The Dave Jones Quintet will be interpreting a handful of Garrett tunes from Songbook (plus an additional one by Kirkland), alongside compositions new and old from Jones.
