Israeli born, master drummer and composer, Asaf Sirkis brings a wealth of distinctive rhythmic effects to an essentially jazz-rock sound which has its roots in a rich mixture of Middle Eastern, North African and other influences.  Atmospherically ranging electronica from guitar, six-string bass guitar and Fender Rhodes will be coupled with creamy and bird-song textures from the ever-inventive flute playing of Gareth Lockrane. Garnished with sympathetic responses of percussive wizardry, Sirkis explains that a desire to create soul-touching music and melody lies at the heart of his writing. A thrilling night of musical artistry is forecast from an exciting group of top jazz musicians. The Quartet will leave Shrewsbury to embark on a tour of China.
