Patrice Brun’s Bop 5
Bop 5’s credo is bop in general, and Charlie Parker, Horace Silver and Kenny Dorham in particular.
Led by French tenor saxophonist Patrice Brun with Bill Blackmore on trumpet, the quintet explore the two horn and rhythm format that yielded so many of bop’s highest achievements.
The line-up also features Australian guitarist Markus Schwaiger with bassist Tom Prior and drummer Dennis Cassidy taking care of the requisite rhythmic ingredients.
