Guitarist Nick Costley-White brings his all star quartet featuring Julian Siegal , Connor Chaplin and James Maddren to the East Side to play music from their Latin infused playfulness of his Poncha album along with new hyper-rhythmic cutting edge European style material
Guitarist Nick Costley-White leads an all star quartet featuring the absolute best of the UK jazz scene; Julian Siegel on sax, James Maddren on drums, Conor Chaplin on double bass and Composer/Bandleader Nick Costley-White on guitar. The band are raring to go off the back of a 14 date UK tour and are now excited to be performing fresh new material combining the acoustic, Latin infused playfulness of their 2025 album “Poncha” with the hyper-rhythmic cutting edge sounds of the contemporary European jazz scene.
This marks the quartet’s first performance at the EFG London Jazz Festival and is set to be an unmissable evening of virtuosic improvising and daring new music.
