About this concert
Matt Cook is a London based Tenor Saxophonist that has been described in JazzJournal Magazine as ?Spectacular? as well as likened to maestro saxophonists such as Wayne Shorter (London Jazz News 2020) and Mark Turner (Marlbank 2024). Matt established his quintet whilst at The Royal Academy of Music in London combining some of the most creative young musicians on the London Jazz Scene. ?I wanted to bring four very different musical voices together that could each bring their own style and flair to the music.? Matt?s eclectic compositional influences range from modern jazz contemporaries such as Immanuel Wilkins and Ambrose Akinmusire, to older pioneers such as John Coltrane and Joe Henderson. He is not afraid to bypass genre, with flavours from 20th Century classical composers like Messiaen and Ravel and even nods to alternative rock bands such as Radiohead. Matt strikes the balance between honouring the tradition in his compositions without being stifled by it. Repetition is a key part of his compositions, a technique he draws from spiritual jazz, creating meditative and transcendent moments. Expect memorable melodies, expansive improvisations and deeply moving harmonic progressions.
