About the event
Leeds-based group Wandering Monster reaches beyond what may be expected from the tried and tested line-up of the tenor saxophone/guitar quintet. The band’s original compositions, penned by double bassist and leader Sam Quintana, draw from a love of American and European jazz, rock and world music, creating a sound that’s simultaneously raucous and sensitive, intense and intellectual. Wandering Monster is made up of some of the finest musicians operating in the UK today; members of the band have also performed with a host of esteemed artists who include Mike Walker, Nikki Iles, Mark Nightingale, Lianne Carroll, Evelyn Glennie, Ant Law, Jasmine Myra, Melt Yourself Down and Worldservice Project amongst others.
Wandering Monster will take to the stage at The Domino for the first time to perform a set of brand new original material, as well as pieces from their recent acclaimed releases 'Zenna' and Metropolis/Division' (Ubuntu Records).
'There's a maturity and generosity in each other's musical company that makes Wandering Monster just a little special.' - Andy Robson, Jazzwise
