MOJO Magazine
A brand new band with a powerhouse frontline of Quentin Collins, known for his work with the internationally acclaimed Kyle Eastwood band, on trumpet and the highly regarded Vasilis Xenopoulos (Shez Raja) on sax. Also featured are Rob Barron-piano, Matyas Hofecker-bass and Matt Home-drums performing a contemporary straight ahead bop repertoire. They have been rehearsing since lockdown, so expect tight swinging grooves from some of the best players around.
