Dave Lewis Quintet
“It's a real treat…tight chunky grooves and very exciting and funky sax...this is an absolute breath of fresh air. Dave Lewis...sets a standard of powerful, fiery solos that will be hard to surpass”
Blues and Soul
Dave Lewis's robust and melodic tenor sax playing has been heard with a notable list of artists including John Martyn, Bryan Ferry, Joan Armatrading, John Mayall, Eric Clapton, The Blockheads and of course his own band, 1Up with whom he often appears at the Club. For this 606 show however Dave and his Quintet have put together a choice setlist of soulful, bluesy, and rare groove-based standards and originals that they don’t usually play at the Six, but with the some emphasis on improvisation and feel that is their trademark.
