The band’s vision is to carry on the lineage of groups like Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers as well mirroring the New York contemporary-bop scene. From this inspiration, the band presents a sound that respects the tradition of the hard-bop era whilst also bringing it up to date for today’s audience. With an extensive repertoire of carefully crafted and imaginative original compositions, along with hip, swinging material by greats like Jimmy Heath, Cedar Walton and Horace Silver, Five-Way Split delivers a night of the best swinging and soulful music in town. About Five-Way Split Five-Way Split are a band formed during lockdown period of 2020, featuring some of the UK’s leading Contemporary Bop musicians. Taking advantage of the times when musicians were allowed to meet, and rehearse but not perform, they quickly forged an unmistakable sound and unity which shines through in every performance. Five-Way Split are trumpeter Quentin Collins, sax ace Vasilis Xenopoulos, Pianist Rob Barron, bassist Matyas honecker and drummer Matt Home, who collectively have worked with the likes of Al Jarreau, Kyle Eastwood, Stacey Kent and Barry Harris.

George Johnson Quartet Leading on tenor saxophone and composing the music, Johnson steers the band through a wide range...

Complimentary for Patrons Curated by Zhenya Strigalev Choose Table Seating & Dinner Service tickets to order from Pollini’s Jazz Set Menu directly to your table in the Sunbeam Theatre. We recommend arriving before 8:00pm to give you plenty of time to settle in and place your food and drink orders. BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2024 finalist George Johnson presents his quartet — one of the most exciting emerging acts in UK jazz. Leading on tenor saxophone and composing the music, Johnson steers the band through a wide range of musical territory whilst maintaining an unmistakable connection to the jazz canon. His writing prioritises purposeful collective improvisation with the difference between solo and written sections often blurred. King David Ike-Elechi (drums), Scottie Thompson (piano) and Zaki Osahn (bass) each bring a distinctive voice and broad experience to the music. The influence of the contemporary New York scene is clear though the band’s UK roots run deep — members having played with Emma Rawicz, Gareth Lockrane, Orphy Robinson, Ivo Neame, Will Sach and many more. Johnson continues his studies at the Royal Academy of Music under Julian Siegel, Alex Hitchcock and Giacomo Smith, and the quartet are regulars on the London and UK jazz circuit, having played sold-out shows at the Vortex, Next Door Records, Karamel and Notting Hill Arts Club.
