Ben Carter Quintet
Friday 10th May
Ben Carter is a saxophonist and composer based in Birmingham. A graduate of the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Carter writes and performs jazz music for a variety of small and large ensembles, including his own Jazz Quintet. Inspired by the sound of classic saxophonists like Paul Desmond and Art Pepper, he aims to bring this sound to a more modern environment, incorporated into free-flowing and complex compositions.
The band is a modern jazz quintet that brings a youthful and refreshing energy to the Birmingham jazz scene. Made up of exciting young musicians including Tom Henery (guitar), Conor Bastible (piano), Thomas Marsh (bass) and Henry Wakley (drums), the group is led by Ben Carter (saxophone) and captures audiences with their vibrant feel and group interplay.
Ben is promoting Pulsar, his debut record, in which he establishes his sound as a new and distinctive artist. Using unique grooves and harmonic devices, Carter’s original compositions display engaging pulses that the band builds on to create an expansive sound filled with improvisation and jazz language.
