Arnie Somogyi ‘Jump Monk’ Quintet
Tony Kofi (sax), Jeremy Price (trombone), Mark Edwards (piano), Arnie Somogyi (bass), Clark Tracey (drums)
Led by bassist Arnie Somogyi, Jump Monk pays tribute to two of the greatest composers in jazz: Charles Mingus and Thelonious Monk. This stellar line-up includes some of the leading figures in British jazz. Expect passion and fireworks, pushed on by one of the best rhythm sections around.

‘A bassist who doesn’t mark time but makes it sing … Add in the searing alto of Tony Kofi, with his flame-thrower tone and vehement attack, and you have music of real consequence’. Peter Vacher - Jazzwise
