Swansea International Jazz Festival presents sophisticated, high-energy jazz with the Will Barnes Quartet - a group known for its exciting, contemporary style of jazz.

• Will Barnes – Guitar
• Jack Gonzalez – Piano
• Clovis Phillips – Double Bass
• James Batten – Drums

A tight collective of highly experienced jazz instrumentalists, the Will Barnes Quartet's carefully selected sets typically consist of timeless laid-back swing tunes, punctuated by sharply focused fiery passages that delight.
Will's playing is always in high demand, and in this quartet, he explores his love of guitarists such as Grant Green and Wes Montgomery - expect moments of fire among the chilled-out groove!

Three albums that have influenced Will's playing include:
• Night Train, Oscar Peterson Trio (1963)
• Jim Hall & Pat Metheny, Jim Hall and Pat Metheny (1999)
• Midnight Blue, Kenny Burrell (1963)

Their sound is fresh, consistently breathing new life into some classic works, alongside Will's memorable compositions that leave audiences wanting more.
