James Morton Quartet - Jazz Funk Soul Society
Monday, 22 February 2010 - 7:00pm, Ar2, Students' Union
James Morton has developed his unique voice through direct influences from funk, soul, jazz, gospel, latin and urban music. He has the ability to communicate to an audience through his saxophone, directly projecting deep emotion to the listener in a lyrical style. James has two key mentors in the form of Andy Shepperd and Pee Wee Ellis whom he continually works with on a variety of projects.
As well as recording on many Jazz albums, James appears on Pendulum's platinum selling Drum 'n' Bass album 'SLAM'. James has performed with Fred Wesley, Winton Marsailis, Billy Cobham, Jason Rubello, Abrham Wilson, Beth Rowley, Snowboy and Tomorrow's Warriors to name a few.
Influenced by funk, soul-jazz, soul and gospel, James's Quartet aim to eliminate the introspective and self indulgent elements that some "jazz" music can often adhere to with the intent to bring the music back to the people.
We hope you enjoy the show!
