About this experience
Bassist Nick Haywood has been developing several projects recently and he is excited to announce 'Big Guitar' as the latest. The band features Nick alongside guitarists Fran Swinn and Geoff Hughes together with drummer Sam Bates.
Swinn and Hughes are both distinctive mature stylists and melodic improvisers, and, like Bates, have their own albums as leader. 'Big Guitar' is a continuation of Nick's long-term obsession with developing highly engaged, deep-listening groups that connect through accessible core material. The repertoire for this group is a combination of original works by the band members, with both standards and pieces by other musicians filling out a set of tunes that the quartet finds real meaning in. This is the second performance of this stimulating new group and is not to be missed.
