Matt Cook Quintet
Pizza Express Jazz Club, W1D 3RW , [Venue Details]Award-winning saxophonist and composer Matt Cook brings his quintet to the legendary PizzaExpress Jazz Club Soho. Featuring some of London’s finest young jazz musicians, the band performs Matt’s original compositions.
Innovative contemporary-jazz that’s still firmly rooted in the tradition. Expect memorable melodies, expansive improvisations and deeply moving harmonic progressions. Don’t miss the chance to see one of the rising stars of Jazz in the UK.
Matt Cook is an award-winning tenor saxophonist from London that has been described in JazzJournal Magazine as ‘Spectacular’ as well as likened to maestro saxophonists such as Wayne Shorter (London Jazz News 2020) and Mark Turner (Marlbank 2024).
He established his quintet whilst at The Royal Academy of Music combining some of the most creative and in-demand young musicians on the London Jazz Scene. ‘I wanted to bring four very different musical voices together that could each bring their own style and flair to the music.’
Matt’s eclectic compositional influences range from modern jazz contemporaries such as Immanuel Wilkins and Ambrose Akinmusire, to older pioneers such as John Coltrane and Joe Henderson. He is not afraid to bypass genre, with flavours from 20th Century classical composers like Messiaen and Ravel and even nods to alternative rock bands such as Radiohead.
