Jazz Session @ Bocabar Glastonbury - Friday 6th May

The Andy Hague Quintet + Support
Jazz Session @ Bocabar Glastonbury
Friday 6th May 7.30pm

The 'A List' of the Bristol jazz scene and some of the best jazz players in the UK. Bristol based trumpeter Andy Hague has been leading his quintet for over twenty years, and it is one of the most popular bands in the area.

The group has made many appearances at festivals such as Brecon, Swanage and Glastonbury, and recorded four broadcasts for the BBC’s Jazz Notes programme back in the 90s.

A glowing review in The Independent on Sunday – “The collective impact of what amounts to a South-West supergroup was close to overpowering.”

Teignmouth Jazz -  "And fabulous it was.  Everyone was buzzing after the gig.  "Really tight and sensitive playing and interaction... Fantastic... Well up to the national benchmark....The best gig I've been to recently...." were just some of the comments flying around.  And the Andy Hague Quintet CD, on sale at the venue, Cross My Palm, stands repeated playing."

Stratford Jazz -  "the scene was set for an evening of quality jazz very much entrenched in the Blue Note era – accessible, straight-ahead and swinging."

Hague’s current quintet line-up is Andy Hague – trumpet/flugelhorn, long-term associates Ben Waghorn – saxes and Jim Blomfield – piano, and younger generation rising stars Riaan Vosloo – double bass and Mark Whitlam – drums, and on their recent CD release Cross My Palm they are augmented on two tracks each by guests saxophonist Jake McMurchie and vocalist Brigitte Beraha.
