Joshua Redman praises his talent and Downbeat compares him to ‘a sprightly Olympic welterweight’: alto saxophonist Will Vinson convinces the jazz world with his powerful, clear playing. The New York-based Brit will appear at the Bimhuis with a band full of great talents, including guitarist Lage Lund, who made his breakthrough as the winner of the 2005 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition.
From his music you can tell that Will Vinson has collaborated with kindred saxophone players Chris Potter and Mark Turner as well as eccentric singer-songwriters such as Rufus Wainwright and Sufjan Stevens: his melodies sound like vocal lines. His compositions sound contemporary and still connected to the jazz tradition. Vinson and band will perform songs from their most recent CD, Live at Small’s, which was recorded at the eponymous New York jazz haven.
‘Vinson is a quite marvelous player and this is a cracking band’ (Downbeat)
