JAZZ FEST Jazz in the Afternoon

The Basil Hodge Quartet Basil Hodge – whether it’s his quintet, quartet or trio, has thrilled audiences throughout the UK with his charming compositions and emotional hard swinging performances. With two critically acclaimed CD’s under his belt, this project will showcase Basil’s new compositions and the evolution of his older compositions. Significantly the band has shifted from the classic hard bop quintet style to a more modern quartet version. “Hodges rhapsodic style gives the band a thick full sound. He is a fleet driving pianist.” Derek Ansell – Jazz Journal
