Steve Ajao Quartet - Bebop Jazz

Steve Ajao makes a welcome return to Joe Joe Jims on Sunday 22nd June bringing his jazz Quartet for an afternoon of bebop-tinged classics.

The Quartet features Tim Amman (keyboard), Miles Levin (drums) and Adam Gilchrist (bass) - and, of course, Steve on sax - and will be presenting two sets of bebop jazz. Although we don’t know the set Steve will choose for the gig, the Quartet have previously included Dizzy Gillespie’s bebop number ‘A Night in Tunisia’ to the ballad ‘The Things we did last summer’ and the bluesy inflections of Charlie Parker’s ‘Chi-Chi’ along with Dexter Gordon’s ‘Cheesecake’ … just to give you a flavour (no pun intended) of what to expect.
