This week the
SECollective look forward to welcoming The Greg Heath Quartet to the Amersham
Arms. Featuring drumming legend Laurie Lowe and the SEcollective’s own Bill
Mudge on piano, Greg’s quartet will be playing their own brand of original and
progressive modern jazz within the classic tenor-and-rhythm format.
His 2009 Debut
Release Fact & Fiction comes
recommended by Jazz UK as one to buy with confidence “…there’s a strong
Coltrane-circa-1961 influence here and as well as Heath’s fire-starting tenor
the CD captures pianist John Donaldson at his most eloquent” (Duncan Heining –
Jazz UK).
You can check it out
via Greg’s Myspace here:
Originally from New Zealand, Greg studied at the NSW
Conservatorium in Sydney under the tutorage of world renowned brass virtuoso
James Morrison and Australian sax and woodwind legend Don Burrows. Resident in
the UK since 1989, Greg has toured and recorded as a sideman with a diverse
range of artists both in the Jazz and Pop idioms including prominent UK jazz
artists such as: Jim Mullen, John Etheridge, The Meier Group and Coup d’Etat.
Popular music artists include: Terence Trent D’Arby, Van Morrison, Stereo MC’s,
Jimmy Nail and Hamish Stewart, to name but a few. Greg is also a member of the
“All Stars Collective” comprising some of Britain’s finest touring and session
musicians.
Further praise for Fact & Fiction comes from Jazzwise magazine’s Selwyn Harris:
“Heath has a drive
and sonic intensity that encourages further listening ... the Jazz here is
undeniably well executed and listenable”

quartet check them out on YouTube here:
