Tony Faulkner Quartet

Tony Faulkner drums, Jamil Sheriff piano, Gary Jackson bass and Russel VanDenburg sax.

Some bands you just know are going to be fantastic. With this line up how could the gig be anything but? Tony Faulkner is a fine musician who has built an impressive body of work over the last 50 years. He is a stylish Composer and Arranger, a great drummer and one of the UK’s foremost experts on the life and work of Duke Ellington. He provided the arrangements for the Alan Barnes Ellingtonians at Seven in November 2009. He has enjoyed a long career as a Jazz educator, and has helped many of the finest British Jazz musicians of the last 35 years hone their compositional, performance and ensemble skills.

He has vast experience as a drummer for both Big Bands and small group jazz. His small group arrangments always make bands sound bigger than they are! The Quartet features Russel VanDenburg on tenor sax who has delighted the  Seven jazz audience many times in the past. Here Tony's music through this link
