Colin Steele and Martin Kershaw Quintet play Chet Baker and Stan Getz

by Colin Steele

Chet Baker and Stan Getz exemplified the laid-back soulful sounds of 1950s California cool-school jazz. This project features current Scottish jazz musician of the year Colin Steele (trumpet), Martin Kershaw (saxophone), Dave Milligan (piano), Brian Shiels (bass) and Max Popp (drums). 'The best music I saw might have been Martin Kershaw and Colin Steele playing 50s bebop at the Jazz Bar, which I wasn’t expecting, but it made me hear that music as a living organism rather than a museum' (Stewart Lee).
