SUMMARY:Fergus Quill Plays Xero Slingsby + Christie/Chan Duo
DESCRIPTION:Tonight\\, bandleader/bass player Fergus Quill presents his m
 usical tribute to the original Leeds alt-jazz pioneer Xero Slingsby\\, an
 d his band The Works. In the week of Xero&#8217\\;s 69th birthday\\, Ferg
 us and his quintet will be playing music from their 2023 album &#8220\\;
 Up Yours! Fergus Quill Plays Xero Slingsby&#8221\\;\\, a selection of rei
 magined music from the two albums Xero released in the mid-1980s\\, a few
  years before he sadly died from a brain tumour. Alto saxophonist Xero Sl
 ingsby (real name Matthew Coe)\\, was heavily involved in the local jazz 
 and experimental music scenes in Leeds from the late 1970s onwards. With
  his band The Works (bass player Louis Colan and drummer Gene Velocette)\
 \, he blazed a trail of wild jazz with punk attitude and quirky English c
 omedic wit across the UK and northern Europe\\, releasing two LPs before 
 he passed away aged only 31 years old. That same spirit Xero had is still
  present in the Leeds DIY alt-jazz scene with musicians and bands like Fe
 rgus Quill Trio\\, Vipertime\\, Yoshizawa\\, Teruki Chan\\, Nikka Ticciat
 i\\, Amon Ra Collective and Harvey Parkin-Christie. Support for this show
