The group was formed in 2021 by Saxophonist Sam Lightwing, and brought together 4 musicians at RNCM to play some new music that Sam was writing at the time. The band involves musicians from all backgrounds, bringing in many different perceptions of improvised music.
During 2022, the band recorded this original music written by Sam live at the Yard in Manchester to great success. They went on to play at Fuel Bar Cafe in June, and have more dates in the diary to come.
On the night itself, the quartet will play three sets of music. Expect a mix of originals and music from their inspirations, including Chick Corea, Joshua Redman and Herbie Hancock. The styles are varying in the original music, expect influences from latin, jazz, funk, blues and just about everything in between.
