Langtoun Jazz is delighted to welcome back young saxophonist Jack Pearce and The Jack Pearce Quintet following their first visit in 2025.
Jack started out busking on the streets of his hometown in 2017 and took quickly to the saxophone. Now a graduate of Leeds Conservatoire (2021-2024), where he studied jazz saxophone, Jack is rapidly building a reputation as a dynamic, exciting sax player.
Drawing heavily on the influence of hard and post-bop players, while also infused with a strong sense of the rock music he grew up on, Jack effortlessly blends genres, creating a unique style that escapes the confines of conventional jazz.
The Quintet represents Jack’s latest venture in music, showcasing his original compositions that pay homage to jazz traditions while injecting a fresh, inventive spirit. A band of Leeds Conservatoire Alumni, the Jack Pearce Quintet focuses on a fusion of melodic and technical excellence. Drawing influence from Post-bop and 90s New York Swing, the original compositions have a uniquely open and interactive approach. The bands strength is particularly apparent in a live setting where countless hours have been dedicated to every facet of the music, then refined on the stage, culminating in an exciting musical experience.
Strong rhythms underpin vibrant, playful melodies creating a fusion complimentary to both traditional and modern jazz.
