25 May Michael Wright Quintet
As part of Appledore Music Festival the Michael Wright Quintet brings together the cream of North Devon musicians. The band will play an exciting mix of African rhythms, funk grooves, classic Blue Note jazz, li-Life, and modern fusion to create a dynamic and unique sound. Audiences can expect a vibrant concert experience filled with infectious energy and engaging improvised interplay.
The group is led by bassist Michael Wright and features two saxophone giants of the local scene, Emmanuel Segun and Jon Gillies. Completing the quintet will be John Bangham, a respected keyboardist who has recorded in Abbey Road Studios, and Mike Reed , a celebrated drummer and composer for TV and film.
