Alto saxophonist Donovan Haffner could have be described as one of the best-kept secrets on the UK jazz scene but all this has changed with the award of Jazz Newcomer of the Year in this year's UK Parliamentary Jazz Awards. Donovan blends straight-ahead contemporary jazz to innovative compositions in his own unique style. Don’t miss the chance to catch one of the UK’s brightest young talents at this Leeds Jazz Festival. He’ll be leading his Quintet, featuring Francisco Garcia De Paredes on guitar, Jay Verma on piano, Harry Pearce on double bass, and Harry Ling on drums .
Support is from a quartet led by young Leeds drummer Miles Hardy————————————————————————————————————————————————
