Dave Stapleton Quintet

Been listening to all three albums, downloadable from www.emusic. com. Great groove based compositions with fabulous solos, particularly from the two young but virtuoso horns, Jonny Bruce and Ben Waghorn. And so young. the future of jazz in the UK? I hope so. Caught the band live at Swanage and have bought tickets to see them at Brecon in a couple of weeks time. Thanks to the Jazzwise cover disc a few months ago where the DSQ track really stood out. Dave Stapleton also runs the EQ jazz label. What a talent.
