The Paul Farr Band is back at Matt and Phreds, tonight joined by the fantastic Jeff Guntren.
Appearing regularly at Matt and Phreds for over ten years, band leader and composer Paul is more often than not seen playing with award winning blues sensation Kyla Brox. When he’s not playing around Europe with Kyla he can be seen here playing his own mix of jazz, blues and funk with influences of Schofield, Frisell and Metheny all wrapped up in original tunes.
This performance is set to be very special, as Paul is joined by prolific saxophonist Jeff Guntren, The Cinematic Orchestra‘s very own Luke Flowers on drums, and Manchester stalwart Huw Jacob on bass.
Jeff Guntren has been playing saxophone professionally for over 20 years. Originally from America he moved to Manchester in 2015 to live with his wife, harpist Rebecca Mills. Since arriving, he has been involved in various creative music projects including various festival appearances and recording sessions. His favourite musical setting is small group jazz, where he has the most space to stretch out creatively, with the goal of reaching unexplored territory.
