Will Cleasby Quartet

The exciting and versatile drummer Will Cleasby has built an impressive and growing CV, with his subtle yet powerful playing heard alongside a wide variety of high-profile artists, including acclaimed US trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, Grammy Award winner Kurt Elling and multi-award-winning Jamie Cullum.

Tonight, Will brings his latest project to the Club: a tribute to the great US drummer Elvin Jones. The band’s name, 3 Card Molly, is taken from one of Elvin’s compositions.

Joining Will are Riley Stone-Lonergan on saxophone, Will Barry on piano and Will Sach on bass. Will describes the programme as showcasing “some lesser-known tunes from Elvin’s solo albums from the 60s–80s, highlighting his writing and that of the members of those groups”.

Terrific music from some seriously good players!
