QUINTO. EUROPE'S TOP LATIN JAZZ COMBO at the Festival of Chichester

This is going to be a humdinger of a night. This is the Hillier Jazz Month headline band,
June 28 Sat  £15 Quinto. Europe’s top Latin Jazz combo 

Terry Seabrook, Raul D’Oliveira and Tristan Banks make up Europe's top Latin Jazz combo. Quinto play
music from Brazil and Cuba. International star musicians, all of them. Their Afro-Cuban jazz has
hard edged, foot tapping complex rhythm patterns from Cuban dance music while their Afro-Brazilian
jazz is more laid back including languid bossa novas and sambas. Brilliant, they are, not to be missed

This top combo is a highlight for the Hillier Jazz month. As well as vocals and a brilliant trumpet, Raul D'Oliveira uses hand percussion instruments to supplement the complex hard driven rhythms created by Tristan Banks on drums. Terry Seabrook on keys adds fascinating latin montunos, all improvised.  

Tristan Banks, has played regularly with Batu, Cubana Bop and Robin Jones King Salsa, in Britain, on the continent, in Japan and in Brazil.

Portuguese-born Raul D'Oliveira, has supported George Michael, Elton John, Cliff Richard, Sting, Gloria Gaynor all around the world.
