The Fourmasons Trio, Leicseter's leading jazz combo, covers a century of classic jazz standards, Real Book tunes, Modern and Contemporary jazz composition and a variety of Latin American and World music styles: tunes by the likes of Miles Davis, Horace Silver, Hermeto Pascoal, Dexter Gordon, Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, Sonny Rollins, Henry Mancini, Charlie Parker, John Abercrombie and Duke Ellington. Their repertoire also integrates original tunes and arrangements written by the band.
The band also feature guest musicians, which has attracted prominent names from the UK jazz scene including Alex Clarke (BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year), Eddie Parker (Loose Tubes) and Martin Speake, as well as top Midlands players like Wayne Matthews, Matt Ratcliffe, Ian Hill, Steve O’Gorman, Richard Baker, Mellow Baku, Mike Sole, Rachel Johnson, Mark Trounson, Rob Charles, Gary Reader and James Tartaglia.
The Fourmasons debut album is available via Bandcamp.
“Our repertoire always includes representation from Blue Note and we are little short of blessed to have access to that music. All jazz musicians of the contemporary era stand on the shoulders of these creative legends – both in terms of the music they produced and also the unique history of the Blue Note label, in bringing these artists and works to the attention of the world. It is a privilege to play some small part in the continuation of that.” Lee Allatson
