About this Event

Join us in the superb setting of Newark Town Hall for the second installment of NEWARK JAZZ, featuring a fantasic 6-piece jazz band!


Andrew Wood’s Hammerhead

Hammerhead is a celebration of the irresistibly groove soaked and melody driven music which came to prominence in the late 50s / early 60s, the golden era of hard bop and Blue Note Records.


The sextet explores compositions by Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan and other figureheads of the 60s hard bop revolution, as well as contemporary compositions penned in this authentic style. Expect an evening of fiery, soulful and intense music presented by this exciting new project!


Leading a 6 piece band, the group is fronted by jazz drummer Andrew ‘Woody’ Wood (Peggy’s Skylight House Band, Tony Kofi’s Inside Straight, Sharp Little Bones, Koko Collective), featuring leading lights of the Midlands scene joining forces with some of the finest instrumentalists in the UK.
