SUMMARY:Jazz: Simon Spillett
DESCRIPTION:Our special guest soloist tonight is Simon Spillett\, who over the past twenty years or so has established himself as one of the UK’s pre-eminent saxophonists. Simon is a firm advocate of straight ahead hard-swinging modern jazz\, and his lack of pretention has made him a huge hit with the UK jazz audience\, although he sometimes jokes online about his lack of eligibility for Arts Council grants. \nSince his last visit in 2024 Simon has been busy promoting and performing the music from his big band album Dear Tubby H\, featuring the cream of the UK jazz scene and dedicated to performing the arrangements of Tubby Hayes\, many of which have not been heard performed live since Tubby passed away in 1973. Released in Sept 2023 the album has been immediately hailed as one of the most significant UK jazz recordings of recent years\, and gained an extremely rare 5-star review in Jazzwise magazine. “Everything about this first-ever release on drummer Pete Cater’s new mister PC label exudes class. The look of the album\, its design and booklet notes\, the superb photography\, the marvellous sound\, but above all\, the sheer fizzing intensity of the playing. It’s all here.” – Pete Vacher\, Jazzwise. \nAlongside his playing career Simon is also a jazz author and reviewer\, perhaps best known for his biography of Tubby Hayes\, “The Long Shadow of the Little Giant.”  Both through his writing and his playing he has done a huge amount to bring the achievements of one of the UK’s most important jazz musicians to a whole new generation. Although able to sound uncannily like Tubby when he chooses to\, Simon’s palette is broader than just one player and he is also highly knowledgeable about the styles of other saxophonists such as Zoot Sims\, Stan Getz\, Dexter Gordon and John Coltrane. \nSimon has won several awards\, including the tenor saxophone category of the British Jazz Awards (2011)\, Jazz Journal magazine’s Critic’s Choice CD of the Year (2009) Rising Star in the BBC Jazz Awards (2007) and Services to British Jazz in the 2016 British Jazz Awards. \nFor tonight’s quartet performance Simon is backed by some of Bristol’s finest – Tim Funnell – piano\, Will Harris – bass and Andy Hague – drums.
