BYRON WALLEN'S FOUR CORNERS

Byron Wallen has lived in Woolwich, South East London, for nearly 20 years. He was commissioned by PRS For Music Foundation to compose a suite of music celebrating his chosen home town. Reflecting on Woolwich’s vibrancy, multiculturism and lively community spirit, the suite is a portrait of a once prominent part of London in a time of transformational promise.

Byron’s work draws inspiration from contemporary and indigenous cultures. His passionate musical knowledge and his fascination with the human spirit is evident in this new music which is breath- taking in its excitement and depth.

Here's a video of Four Corners in action.

Our Jazz Steps audiences know and love the playing of drummer Rod Youngs. So too with Rob Luft who has performed several times for Jazz Steps audiences. He is a phenomenal young musician and composer and was selected as BBC New Generation Jazz Artist 2019-2021, an accolade granted to “some of the world’s most exceptional young musicians”. On the back of the success of his first album ‘Riser’, Rob gained numerous prestigious awards.

Learn more about Rob through a special Jazz Steps video interview by Hugh Pascall available on the Inspire website and via a guitar enthusiast’s podcast FRETDOJO. Bassist Paul Michael completes the line-up of this powerful, inventive quartet.

Altogether, Byron Wallen’s Four Corners promises engaging musical experience – one not to miss!
