Mark Whitlam – Drums

Steve Banks returns to the Glass Studio presenting music from his 2023 release Emboldened alongside brand new music with his exceptional quintet. Expect powerful modern jazz, deep contemporary grooves, lush harmonies and memorable melodies.

‘Purposeful precision and smart invention . . . tightly written, long unfolding melodic structures weaving the musicians into braided soundscapes . . . deserving of a much wider audience’ Jazzwise 2022

This year, Steve has mentored four outstanding young British and Ukrainian musicians, supporting them in composing new music on the themes of Emboldened: Fear, Belief and Unity. This concert will open with premier performances by the young musicians of these compositions.
