Foyer Jazz

Presented by Saffron Hall

Part of Foyer Clubs

SoulTime! is a new and exciting jazz quartet co-led by renowned pianist Leon Greening and exceptional trumpeter Steve Fishwick. Rounding out the top-flight rhythm section is Matt Home on drums and Matyas Hofecker on double bass. The group is dedicated to exploring the music of one of their musical heroes, pianist and composer Bobby Timmons.

Timmons was an important influence on the music in the late 50s and early 60s. His contribution to the Hard-Bop and Soul-Jazz styles is often overlooked in the jazz history books. The success of groups such as Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers and The Cannonball Adderley Quintet would not have been possible without hits that were penned by Bobby, including ‘This Here’, ‘Dat Dere’, ‘Moanin’ and many more. This group is committed to presenting the music in the spirit in which it was originally created, with plenty of melody, soul and down-home grooves.

Street food provided by Kura Kura.
