Alex Trask Quintet

Local saxophonist Alex Trask presents original music from his various projects, including a recent recording, his first album, and the Lighthouse Trio setlist. Inspired by folk music from around the world and infused with jazz performance practice, these tunes have a simplicity in common. Free improvised sections contrast carefully arranged melodies, allowing creativity and structure to coexist. The fiddle-esque melodies and straightforward harmonies create an open and inviting sound that changes depending on the musicians on stage. Hiding amongst these tunes will be some swing compositions and arrangements of favourite melodies.
