The Brownfield Byrne Quintet

The Brownfield/Byrne Quintet (BBQ) plays straight ahead jazz with a fresh and youthful enthusiasm for the 'Blue Note' era hardbop styles. Performing standards and bebop favourites from the 40's and 50's as well as some lesser  known contemporary material. You will be hearing a lot from this group in the future, their playing is far more mature than their faces. Jamie, just 19, is already a well recognised trumpet player with a style reminiscent of Clifford Brown and Liam, graduate from Leeds College of Music and The Guildhall, London, has learnt a lot from Sonny Rollins.
Andy Hulme (guitar), Nick Blacka (bass) and Marek Dorcik (drums) complete the line-up.

Things people say....

"For me, hearing 18 year-old Jamie Brownfield was the highlight of the night, playing with a maturity way beyond his years and echoing all the masters; Louis, Bix, Roy, Clifford, Miles, Chet etc. He kicked off with All The Things You Are, a classic changes testpiece and it was evident the lad knows his stuff. In possession of a light but full tone, a mate commented he has a striking resemblance to the young Chet Baker and certainly there is evidence of the troubled-genius playing in his, producing lines of great clarity and poise. It was a blast to have a blow with Jamie on Quickfix, from his and Liam Byrnes Keepin It Cool"
