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.



Their CD 'Keepin' it Cool', recorded 21st February 2009 at Stanley Hall Studios, Manchester, came 4th in the 'New CD' category of The British Jazz Awards 2009.

'An excellent CD on which the performances of all three lead players, whose average age is only 24,  display a maturity which is little short of amazing.
Highly recommended!'
