Resonation
About
Resonation’ is a fifteen piece contemporary jazz big band. Put together as a vehicle for the unique writing of Jim Blomfield, Kevin Figes and Jeff Spencer (experienced composers and band leaders in their own right), the trio have relished the opportunity to form a new band showcasing their collective talents. Coming at contemporary jazz from different angles and featuring many of the finest players from Bristol’s burgeoning jazz scene, the band is an exciting symbiosis of many different genres and playing styles.
“…a very satisfying evening of contrasting style and sound with every player an integral part of its success.” Venue Magazine
