New jazz, improvisation and adventurous sounds: Sarah Heneghan Trio and Timothy Knowles et al. share an intimate Leeds double bill.

Come and discover two exciting new voices in contemporary jazz at Hyde Park Book Club, Leeds.

Sarah Heneghan brings her trio to Leeds following the release of her new album Tiny Sacred Gaps. A meeting point between contemporary jazz, Nordic jazz, folk, minimalism, post-rock and ambient electronics, the music is built around lyrical flugelhorn melodies (Charlotte Keeffe), gently patterned piano (Ben Gaunt) and highly textural drumming (Sarah Heneghan). Expect atmospheric soundscapes, rhythmic interplay and music that evokes landscapes, long train journeys and changing coast and countryside.

Timothy Knowles cut his teeth with nu-jazz upstarts Beyond Albedo and minimalist sensation Emergence Collective, cultivating “a voice all his own” (Whitman Review) as a guitarist and composer. Tim is joined by dynamic baritone saxophonist Martín Berger (Pitanga) and incisive drummer Maeve Thorpe (Maeve Thorpe Quartet), performing original material inspired by Wayne Shorter, Radiohead and Scottish traditional music.

Two distinctive approaches to new jazz, brought together for one intimate evening in The Nook at Hyde Park Book Club.
