A Tribute to Benny Golson.
The late and very great Benny Golson very sadly passed away last year and what better way to mark his remarkable career than a concert celebrating his distinctive jazz compositions. Revered by jazz musicians everywhere, Benny taught a very specific brand of post-bop harmony that encompassed modernism with melody – something the players in renowned London saxophonist Dave O’Higgins quintet have in abundance. They are joined by a debut for exciting young pianist Sean Fyfe who is grounded in the traditions of jazz luminaries like Bill Evans, Bobby Timmons, and Cedar Walton.
