James Taylor Quartet + The Hurricanes7:30pm Sat 22nd Feb, Bedford Esquires
We're very pleased to have convinced one of the finest live bands on the planet, James Taylor Quartet to return to Esquires, Bedford as part of their 35th anniversary year.
One of the pioneers of the Acid Jazz scene, JTQ have taken their distinctive trademark howling Hammond sound to the masses for over 30 years; still famed for their upbeat, energetic live shows with no sign of slowing down.
The band’s relentlessly entertaining tunes take inspiration from the rare-groove style funk, and boogaloo funk of the 60s and 70s and the band is, without a doubt, one of the most important jazz-pop crossover outfits in British live musical history today.
Guest support comes from The Hurricanes – a raucous blend of Loud Garage/Mod vibes, channeling the soulful groove of 60s Soul, the rhythmic pulse of R&B, and the rebellious spirit of Boss British Beat, as if transported straight from the iconic year of 1966. Picture The Who and The Clash colliding in a sonic time capsule.
Comprising four seasoned musicians Dammo, Robert, Neil & Tony decided to join forces and create the kind of band they would love to witness live.
Starting with covers in their early gigs, the inevitable shift towards original compositions occurred, propelling the band toward the desire to record their own material. Now, with three albums under their belt, including the recently released "Here Comes The Storm" on Nov 30, 2023, The Hurricanes continue to epitomize the raw energy and rebellious spirit of a bygone era, ensuring that the storm they've unleashed is one you won't soon forget.
Tickets are available from 10am, this Friday from See and local outlets.
