Phil Donkin
Neil from Sheffield Jazz writes:
Notice of an excellent band due at the Sheffield Jazz gig at Millennium Hall on Friday 6th March, featuring his new CD “The Gate” Phil Donkin: bass; Ben Wendel: sax; Glenn Zaleski: piano; James Maddren: drums Phil Donkin’s quartet features on sax and piano two of the most exciting players on the current New York scene. A mainstay of British jazz for many years, he recently lived in NYC and worked alongside a large catalogue of New York’s finest, before returning to an international career in Europe. www.phildonkin.com
Sunderland native Phil Donkin is one of the most in-demand bassists in the world, and is embarking on his first UK tour as a bandleader promoting the release of 'The Gate,' his debut album for Whirlwind Recordings. This is a highly anticipated return to the UK with a very dynamic group featuring some of the most exciting talent in NYC.
'The Gate' is a work of extraordinary depth and maturity. Bursting with wit and intelligence, the pieces are navigated expertly by the four members, displaying a complex array of textures. 'The Gate' is a powerful statement which both challenges and engages the listener.
