HARRY GREENE
saxophonist - guitarist - arranger - composer
The band began as a Trio in late 2018, with Harry playing both saxophone and guitar. Since then, they've expanded into an in-demand Quintet with a line-up led by Harry on tenor sax, Reuben Fowler (trumpet), Nick Costley-White (guitar), Joel Barford (drums) and Matt Carter (organ).
'a varied jazz performance'
The band comprises some of the country's most exciting and respected jazz musicians, and together they capture the Blue Note spirit while adding their own brilliant styles and sense of originality.
'drawing on a wide range of influences'
With an eclectic set featuring their own originals and re-worked standards, the band draws on a wide range of influences from Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, Hank Mobley, Donald Byrd, Horace Silver, Freddie Hubbard among others. In summarising one such performance, London Jazz News reported:
“Harry Greene’s tenor framed the song; warm, deliberate and confident”.
