Lee Jones (UK) Quintet with Libby Myers

Lee Jones is a British jazz guitarist and composer, combining influences from modern jazz, fusion, blues, avant-garde and rock styles. Lee has regularly performed throughout the UK scene and recorded/performed/studied alongside Larry Coryell, Martin Taylor and Mike Stern. Since graduating from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Jazz Course in 2007, he has released seven solo albums with former WEA producer Simon Tittley and in 2019 completed a PhD in music composition at the University of Salford, Manchester.

Lee is currently touring Australia and also active within music education/research. Lee has a second eBook and new solo album, A World Away, scheduled for release in late 2023.

For this performance, Lee will be bringing together a very special quintet, performing original compositions from Lee's three ensemble albums, Swish, Songs from the 13th Hour and After the Pier. An evening of blues-inflected, high-passion jazz-rock!

Lee will be supported by local guitar talent Libby Myers, whose intimate, heartfelt performances aim to tell unique stories through music, with repertoire ranging from reinterpretations of Baroque works to contemporary music incorporating multi-media and free improvisation.

Personnel includes Lee Jones - Guitar, Dave Cox - Saxophone, Lochlan Feng - Piano/Keyboards, Blake Lonie - Bass and Sam Castan - Drums.
