Timing is everything.

This new quintet lead by Konrad Park, has the hallmark of the great quintets as they developed in the seventies through to the mid-eighties. A ferocious dynamic range, extremes of emotion from pure melody to epic modal abstractions.

Expanding on Konrad’s recent musical ventures, this quintet reflects the largeness of sound, typical of the great quintets from this time.

The personnel in the band, having reached critical points in their careers, find themselves reaching for the big quintet sound. This exciting repertoire includes material from the VSOP Quintet, early Wynton Marsalis, Jaki Byard and many more.

Noticeably Joshua Ford-King (trumpet) has been developing his sound of recent years and it is now time to unleash the beast, as he has recently done with his own quintet.
JFK, having seen the Lincoln Centre Jazz Orchestra last year, came away with a belly full of world class music. He has been reflecting this influence in his live performances ever since.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pianist Dan Sulzberger has long demonstrated a command over any style of modern improvised music. He brings joy and an ability to tackle this demanding harmonic landscape.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hamish Houston provides the drive and physical momentum required from the bass role; his playing is surpassed only by his commitment to jazz music.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Al Dobson reflects the lyricism of many great saxophonists, allowing this quintet to take full flight through the experience and conviction of his musical voice.

Please note that the Courtyard Lift IS OPERATING!
