SUMMARY:Will Barnes Trio
LOCATION:Ashburton Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Part of a UK tour launching the band's second album\, Outside T
 he Light - “Following the critical acclaim of their debut album Source o
 f the Severn\, the Will Barnes Quartet returns with Outside the Light—a 
 bold and expressive new chapter in their artistic journey. Drawing inspira
 tion from local folklore and Celtic mythology\, the album explores themes 
 of light\, seasons and changing landscapes. This second album deepens the 
 group’s exploration of the interplay between jazz improvisation and the 
 evocative landscapes of Mid Wales and the Welsh Marches. Led by guitarist 
 and composer Will Barnes\, the quartet features pianist Jack Gonsalez\, ba
 ssist Aidan Thorne\, and drummer James Batten—an ensemble recognised for
  its tight chemistry and compelling live performances. Their sound pays ho
 mage to jazz greats such as Wes Montgomery\, Pat Metheny\, and Oscar Peter
 son\, while forging a distinct voice rooted in contemporary expression.The
  quartet has performed at major UK venues and festivals\, including Pizza 
 Express Jazz Club (Soho)\, Hay Festival\, Brecon Jazz Festival\, and BBC R
 adio 4’s Loose Ends. Source of the Severn earned praise from critics\, w
 ith MOJO highlighting their “springy deftness… cool precision… serio
 us chops\,” and The Jazz Mann describing the album as “evocative\, int
 elligent… contemporary.”Outside the Light showcases a group in full cr
 eative stride\, offering audiences an immersive evening of modern jazz tha
 t’s both emotionally resonant and musically sophisticated.“It’s soph
 isticated stuff in the contemporary vein [and] the playing by all concerne
 d is immaculate throughout…The quality of this band makes one keen to he
 ar them live” ★★★★ Peter Jones\, Jazzwise“The quartet’s most
  adventurous recording to date. Barnes’ writing is increasingly individu
 al and distinctive\, displaying a growing maturity and a genuine melodic a
 nd narrative awareness.” ★★★★ Ian Mann\, The Jazz Mann“All fou
 r musicians support each other as they navigate the intricacies of Barnes
 ’s intriguing and absorbing compositions\, and as such Outside the Light
  comes highly recommended” Nick Lea\, Jazz Views“The band is in full c
 reative flow on this album\, fusing images of natural beauty into a sounds
 cape of shimmering textures.” Neil Duggan\, All About Jazz​\n\nBoletos
