Eddie Parker's "Airborn"
““Eddie Parker’s flute is fast becoming one of the UK’s most important popular jazz voices””
Time Out
Award-winning flautist/pianist/composer Eddie Parker first came to prominence as one of the founding members and contributing composers for the seminal UK big band of the 1980’s, Loose Tubes. In the 90's he formed the first of his own groups, touring and recording and since then he has been featured in numerous bands, including Django Bates’s “Delightful Precipice” as well as his own “Twittering Machine” (my band name of the month!) and most recently “Debussy Mirrored”. Generally considered one of the finest jazz flautists in international music Eddie is also an accomplished composer with a number of commissions to his name as well as teaching credits including Senior Lecturer in Jazz at Middlesex University and PRS Composer in Education at Cheltenham International Festival. He has been active as a respected educator for many years and is currently Director of the innovative education company, Impro Integrated Music Projects. Tonight Eddie is back at the Club with his fabulous quartet “Airborn”, featuring Eddie on both flute and keyboards along with Rob Luft on guitar, Dave Manington on bass and Will Glaser on drums, performing an entirely new set of original material penned by Eddie. As he says "Expect some incredible playing, beautiful sounds and an amazing level of telepathy from this great band".
