Brandon Allen/Tom Ollendorff Quartet - "Scofield, Metheny & Martino"

Brandon Allen relocated to London in 2000 from Perth, Western Australia and since then has performed extensively with leading UK and international artists in genres from Jazz to Groove to pop.

For well over 10 years the saxophonist with Kyle Eastwood, recording and touring globally with Kyle’s various projects, Brandon also co-leads OMAR + QCBA, an exciting collaboration with UK trumpet player Quentin Collins and legendary soul singer Omar Lyefook and can, in addition, be heard with a plethora of high profile bands.

Tonight Brandon is bringing his dynamic new project with guitarist Tom Ollendorff to the Club, celebrating the rich lineage of guitar–saxophone interplay in modern jazz.

Drawing inspiration from the music of John Scofield, Pat Metheny and Pat Martino, Brandon’s warm, full-bodied sound and Tom’s fluid, melodic approach create a dynamic, conversational, ensemble that sits at the heart of this project.

A compelling tribute to three of jazz’s most influential voices.
