Ivo Neame Quintet

A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, Ivo Neame is one of an elite handful of conservatory-educated British jazz musician/composers who are redefining the sound of British jazz. Ivo is a member of the 2011 MOBO-Award winners Kairos 4tet, as well as Phronesis, whose 2010 album “Alive” was recognized by both Jazzwise and MOJO magazines as “Album of the Year”. For his 606 date this evening Ivo has written an entirely new set of material exactly along these lines which he describes as "influenced by Thelonious Monk’s unique approach to composition, the music is largely polyrhythmic, following in the fundamental tradition of jazz”. This is an exciting original project from Ivo (who will also play Rhodes and Mellotron for added colour and diversity) with a completely new line up featuring some of the finest young musicians around, George Crowley-sax, Tom Farmer-bass and James Maddren-drums.
