The Impossible Gentlemen

Jun 21, 2011 07:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Band on the Wall present the cream of British and American jazz talent - Gwilym Simcock, Steve Swallow, Mike Walker, Adam Nussbaum - performing as the new quartet, The Impossible Gentlemen, at The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester.

'Jazz supergroups are volatile concoctions, bespoke teams of virtuosi often just getting in each other's way. But the Anglo-US quartet built from scratch this week around the untried partnership of pianist Gwilym Simcock and Salford Mike Walker, with Americans Steve Swallow on bass and Adam Nussbaum on drums, fulfilled all its promise – and then some'. Four Star review - The Guardian.

This brand new project is full of inspirational improvisational playing and they will be performing new music written specially for the quartet by Gwilym, Mike, Steve and Adam.
