SIMON SPILLETT

Winner of the 2007 BBC Jazz Awards “Rising Star”, Simon has risen meteorically in the past two years to become one of the most dynamic and distinctive Tenor Saxophonists
on the uk jazz scene.
His driving and energetic style is often compared to that of his idol, the late great Tubby Hayes.

“A rare modern instance of a player who studied, sat in and gigged instead of attending jazz college, Spillett is a bruising, scruff-of-the-neck hard bopper who has examined and absorbed all the giants but plumps for Tubby Hayes as chief role model. Generates huge excitement, passion and swagger”
