This new project features Steele (trumpet), Kershaw (saxophone), Dave Milligan (piano), Brian Shiels (bass) and Max Popp (drums) who will transport you to a time when melody was king. 'The best music I saw might have been Martin Kershaw and Colin Steele playing 50s bebop at the Jazz Bar, which I wasn't expecting, but it made me hear that music as a living organism rather than a museum piece' (Stewart Lee).
