Described in Jazz Review as "A formidable musician and composer playing and writing in an uncompromising Hard Bop style", Simon Spillett (born 1974) has risen meteorically in the past few years to become one of the most dynamic and distinctive tenor saxophonists on the UK jazz scene.
Simon's driving and energised style has often been compared favourably with that of his idol, the late great Tubby Hayes, arguably the most accomplished of the post-war British Bebop generation, and his approach does indeed share a similar love of dare-devil tempos and all-out, no-holds-barred, intensity.
As one of the most popular and entertaining of the new wave of young British jazz musicians, Simon delivers a high energy performance of straightahead jazz which all will enjoy.
