The band first got together to play at the Ministry
of Sound nightclub and the great communication between
the musicians that night inspired Nick to create a
dozen new tunes. These were premiered at an event
organised by London's Way Out West jazz collective and
the success of this gig led to an album ("Terms and
Conditions" - Zitto Music) and further performances
where the band began to explore their unified artistic
voice.
The material has an appeal beyond the contemporary
jazz scene, drawing on influences from world and
classical music and encouraging each player to express
himself individually.
Top UK saxophonist and bandleader Tim Whitehead,
writing in Jazz UK magazine, described Nick Haward as
"an imaginative leader and composer with a band of
stunning young players who collectively really have
something to say"
Nick also plays double bass for Patrick Wolf:
