Dom Franks - saxophones, Matt Hopkins - guitar, Anders Olinder - organ, Andy Tween - drums Established in 2010 as a vehicle for the accessible, groove driven compositions of saxophonist Dom Franks, StrayHorn Quartet come to the club fresh from a UK tour and on the back of a glowing 4 Jazzwise review of their current album 'Duality Pt. 1'. Combining lyrical themes with Brazilian and African influences and adventurous swinging improvisations, StrayHorn Quartet features Stroud based guitar firebrand Matt Hopkins (Hopkins-Hammond Trio), in-demand organist Anders Olinder and former Pee Wee Elllis/Ian Ballamy drummer Andy Tween. Dom Franks is a former winner of the Daily Telegraph Jazz Award, and now combines a busy career as a performer and composer with work in music education. Franks influences are broad...from the gospel-like Home Fries to the dreamy, soaring Ellipsis to a cheery New York swagger. The StrayHorn band sounds settled and cohesive... Duality Pt. 1 is an accomplished and highly accessible release that effectively whets our appetite for part two. - Jazzwise Magazine ★★★★ Local sax hero Franks is a Cheltenham based musician with a national reputation and has been featured on national radio and in the national jazz press. Fluent, authoritative tenor sax soloing and lyrical soprano playing. - TheJazzmann.com [//Jazzmann.com] Video - Cheltenham Jazz Festival 2025 [https://youtu.be/30pTLSrX9VI?list=PLg6DPnDG64xMmRJJ9 Hj1386AMMYdELXt&t=5707]
