Saturday 12th September 2026
Northants Jazz is proud to present the Ricjard Exall/Gary Wood Quintet at our new venue The Duke.
With more than 40 years of professional experience in virtually all fields of music, Richard Exall has honed his talent as an internationally acclaimed jazz artist on saxophones and clarinets. Along with Gary Wood, he leads his own versatile jazz quintet hand picked from the most in-demand musicians on the circuit today.
Guitarist Edison Herbert brings his quartet to Northampton Jazz for an evening of straight-ahead jazz played with energy, soul and imagination.
Known for his melodic playing and deep connection to the jazz tradition, Herbert leads a band of exceptional musicians through a
programme of standards, originals and favourite tunes from the jazz canon. The quartet's performances are built on strong ensemble
playing, creative improvisation and a genuine love of the music.
Joining the band for this special performance is leading UK tenor saxophonist Simon Spillett, whose powerful sound and boundless enthusiasm make him a perfect fit for the group's swinging approach.
A night of first-class jazz from musicians who know how to communicate with both each other and their audience.
