Benn Clatworthy Quintet featuring Neil Yates

Benn’s biennial visit from Los Angeles always creates a buzz and his recent and now familiar cooperation with Neil Yates heightens the expectations for the gig. When these two get together, especially with this awesome rhythm section, the results can reach world class. Expect free flowing ‘conversational’ improvisation around some familiar themes with a highly melodic content and huge swing; plus some very fine original compositions. It doesn’t get much better than this.
