Shapeshifters is a contemporary jazz trio made up of three friends whose musical roots are grounded in the rich tradition of the genre. Anna Chandler (alto saxophone), Sam Quintana (bass) and Steve Hanley (drums) combine their musical backgrounds with influences from the likes of Charles Mingus, Fly Trio and the Tristano School.

When playing together they embrace spontaneity, able to morph the direction of a piece at the flick of a switch and constantly challenging themselves to improvise fearlessly and unapologetically. Performing a mix of original material and unique takes on standard repertoire, the group produce a coherent narrative whilst keeping you on your toes as to what might happen next.

Tonight, Shapeshifters will play a collection of original material from their debut album, as well as some newer compositions and standards with their interactive and spontaneous approach.

Line Up:
Anna Chandler // Alto Saxophone
Sam Quintana // Double Bass
Steve Hanley // Drums
