Donovan Haffner and his quintet will be performing a set of exciting, original music; some from his debut album 'Alleviate' released earlier this year.
Donovan joined the highly respected Tomorrow's Warriors Young Artist Development Programme and was mentored by Gary Crosby OBE, Binker Golding, and Alex Davis. He proved to be a stand-out talent and went on to be invited to tour Italy with multi-award-winning drummer Moses Boyd.
If you have already been lucky enough to catch Donovan play live in a venue, (including London's Ronnie Scott's, The Jazz Café, and Pizza Express Live) or at a festival (We Out Here, Love Supreme), or the EFG London Jazz Festival then you will have been struck not just by the drive and sophistication of his playing, but also how he interprets his own compositions. To see him leading his quintet is to go on a journey with him through the music he loves, straight ahead and contemporary jazz - drawing on the inspiration of the musicians that have influenced him, including Kenny Garrett, Freddie Hubbard, Immanuel Wilkins, Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, and Walter Smith III – but enhanced with his own distinctive compositional style.
Donovan Haffner: Alto sax
Francisco Garcia De Paredes: guitar
Jay Verma : piano
