Jazz@Kirkgate: Arun Ghosh 'Northern Quartet'

Very excited to be able to bring this artist to the Kirkgate, with some fabulous musicians. Arun Ghosh is a British-Asian clarinettist, composer and music educator. Named as Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year in 2014 and 2018 in the APPJA / Parliamentary Jazz Awards Arun brings his “Northern quartet” to jazz@Kirkgate featuring John Ellis on piano and Dave Walsh on drums (4th member of quartet TBA) Conceived in Calcutta, bred in Bolton, matured in Manchester and now living in London, Arun's musical vocabulary and vision reflects his rich geographical heritage.Using the spirit and language of jazz, with the sounds and styles of hip-hop, Indian classical and folk, western classical, rock, pop and avant-garde, Ghosh's music is full of lyrical melodies and searching harmonies, down to earth directness and psychedelic ambient introspection. Constantly experimenting with live formats and arrangements has been key to Arun Ghosh's growing reputation for creating music that is ...at once no-nonsense, thrilling and beautiful...uproarious and irresistible (The Telegraph).
