TORI Freestone, Dave Manington and Tim Giles will perform at Dempseys, Cardiff, this September with music from their new album.

Following their 2014 release, In the Chop House, the trio are back with El Barranco, an album of predominantly original compositions, including a pair of EFG London Jazz Festival commissions.

Freestone’s tenor delivery is a key factor in this artistic process along with both Manington on double bass and Giles on drums.

Tori Freestone has played saxes/flutes/violin with many groups in varying styles including NYJO, the Creative Jazz Orchestra, Lee Hazlewood, Cuban group Orquesta Timbala, and the Dave Mannington Septet.

More recently as well as leading her own trio with Manington and Tim on drums, she has been working with the Ivo Neame Quintet and the Ivo Neame Large Ensemble, Andy Sheppard, Loop Collective Member Rory Simmons’ Fringe Magnetic, Solstice - a sextet featuring Brigitte Beraha and John Turville - and the London Jazz Orchestra.

Manington has composed for and led his own jazz septet for several years, and now leads a quartet which is part of London’s LOOP collective, whilst also contributing music to many other projects.

Aged 12 Giles performed at the Brecon Jazz Festival and two years later was performing with the Hungry Ants alongside Richard Fairhurst and Iain Ballamy, performing at Ronnie Scotts, the Copenhagen and Glasgow Jazz Festivals and in Senegal supporting Joe Zawinul.

He was also a member of Django Bates’ Delightful Precipice and has recorded/played with Stan Sulzmann, Iain Ballamy, Julian Arguelles, the Perfect Houseplants and Tom Arthurs’ Centripede.

He co-leads Fraud, with saxophonist James Allsopp (Cheltenham 2006’s Jerwood Foundation Rising Stars and nominated for the 2008’s Parliamentary Jazz Awards) and currently plays with many projects including Iain Ballamy’s Green in Blue, Golden Age of Steam, Stan Sulzmann’s Neon, Nostalgia 77 and Dog Soup.
