Dave Stapleton Quintet in Newport

The month's Jazz Packet session at the Riverfront in Newport features one of Wales's leading contemporary jazz outfits.

Described by The Guardian as offering an "idiosyncratically powerful reappraisal of both post-bop and free-jazz", the Dave Stapleton Quintet appears on Thursday 26 October at 7.45pm.

The band features Dave on piano, Jonny Bruce on trumpet, Paula Gardiner bass, Elliot Bennett drums, and new recruit Ben Waghorn on saxophones.

The event is hosted by myself, DJ Andy Roberts, with tickets priced at £7.50 or £6.50 for National Jazz Card holders.

Next month we'll have the Azhar Saffar Quartet on November 23 - if there's a good turnout for these two gigs we'll look at doing more in the new year.
