Sunday November 29th 2009, 12.30pm, Lowton Civic Hall MAGIC HAT ENSEMBLE
"Formed in early 2006 coming together after a series of informal jam sessions at a house in Manchester, The Magic Hat Ensemble have built a solid name for themselves as a cracking live unit around the UK. Offering a youthful and often irreverent take on standards, asserted through incredibly tight rhythmic playing and cheeky metric modulations, the result is pulsating post bop given a refreshing boot up the behind. Led by Steve Chadwick on cornet with pianist Andrzej Baranek, guitarist Tony Ormesher, bassist Nick Black and drummer Rob Turner this is a dynamic and hugely listenable band worth catching live."
