Patrick Hayes' Crusaders Project
Tonight, top UK trombonist and arranger Patrick Hayes brings his sextet to the Club, paying tribute to 1970s jazz-funk pioneers “The Crusaders”. Patrick has performed, recorded or arranged for an impressive range of artists, from Chaka Khan to Christina Aguilera, Snarky Puppy and Christian McBride, and is probably best known at the club as the trombonist & horn arranger for 606 favourite Hamish Stuart’s 10-piece band. The music features an amazing lineup including Adam Phillips (Tina Turner), Jim Watson (Sting) and Neal Wilkinson (Sir Paul McCartney), covering all eras of the iconic “Crusaders” history from the early 1970’s to the chart topping “Street Life” years of the 1980s. One not to miss!
“This is our future gold, I love it!” Tony Blackburn, BBC Radio 2; “...absorbing live music, enhanced by the adept way Patrick Hayes…wrote all the horn arrangements” Close-Up Culture
