Concert: GSD album launch (feat. Flightless Birds)

GSD Ensemble

Manchester-based group GSD will release their album Wildfire after a successful crowd-funding campaign on PledgeMusic.

Come and listen to hear the sounds of the luscious string quartet, backed by the hard hitting grooves of the rhythm section, with the melodic phrases of Josh Poole on tenor saxophone sat on top.

The GSD Ensemble formed in Manchester in July 2014 and released their debut EP Golden Rule last year. Their appearance at the Brecon Jazz Weekend was praised by TheJazzMan.com for the “quality of the musicianship and the high level of integration between the jazz and classical players.”

Support will come from the jazz trio Flightless Birds who will also be releasing their first EP. Tickets are £5 (£3 for students) and will be available on the door.
