Iain Ballamy with Yuri Golubev, Mark Whitlam and Gareth Williams

ECM recording artist Iain Ballamy is internationally recognised as a saxophonist and composer. He has been described variously as urbane, original, melodic, freethinking and uncompromising.

Listed in the BBC’s publication ‘100 Jazz Greats’ between Count Basie and Chet Baker his work is contemporary with both strong jazz and classical references and yet un-encumbered by formality and tradition.

At Eastside Jazz Club for this gig Iain brings his current quartet of Yuri Golubev on bass, Mark Whitlam on drums and Gareth Williams on piano.

The student support band prior to this headline is led by BMusJazz3 drummer Aidan Amann with Nick Manz (piano) and Ben Love (bass).
