Samuel Eagles’ Spirit

‘British alto saxist Samuel Eagles is a very fluent contemporary-bebop performer whose attractive pieces mix an agile bop sound with film-noirish atmospherics, and quick-change swaps between straight swing and Latin rhythms.’ Guardian

Now, surrounding himself with some of British jazz’s present-day torch bearers – Sam Leak (piano), Ralph Wyld (vibes), Duncan Eagles (tenor sax), Max Luthert (double bass) and Dave Hamblett (drums) – the saxophonist has set out with exciting new sextet project Spirit, whose debut album of original material – Ask Seek Knock – was released in June 2017, with longtime supporter Jean Toussaint guesting. This groove-laden recording – inspired by Eagles’ explorations of spirituality, sacrifice and beliefs – is being supported with a UK live tour.
