An excellent Sunday afternoon awaits you with Ed Kainyek and his quartet for this special at the St Mary’s Centre.

A local legend on the Manchester and Leeds jazz scene as saxophonist, teacher, band leader, arranger and most notably for having hosted innumerable jam sessions.

Ed is an alumnus of the Leeds Jazz Rock Orchestra and cites Dexter Gordon, Charlie Parker, Joe Henderson, Phil Woods, and Grover Washington as key influences on his playing. A highly skilled saxophonist with an earthy and expressive style who has graced the stages of Manchester International and Cheltenham Festivals.

Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
