Trumpeter Chris Coull brings his hard-swinging quintet to Matt & Phred’s, featuring Mike Hope on tenor saxophone alongside Andre Baranak on piano, Barry Donohue on bass, and John Settle on drums. Together, the band delivers tight interplay, soulful expression, and infectious energy, blending deep jazz roots with a modern, forward-moving feel. The group will be drawing from classic Blue Note recordings of the 1950s and 60s, celebrating the grooves, melodies, and spirit of one of jazz’s most iconic eras. Expect a dynamic, toe-tapping evening of groove-based jazz—driving rhythms, expressive solos, and plenty of swing—perfectly matched to the intimate atmosphere of Matt & Phred’s in Manchester.
