urban jazz collective Mike Hobart London Mike Hobart is an experienced and soulful saxophonist who has played with the likes of Esther Phillips and Maceo Parker. His first inspiration was the interactive flow of Miles Davis’ 1960s quintet and the edgy freedoms of latter-day Blue Note, but a lot has happened since then. The Urban Jazz Collective keeps the improv flowing, but add world music flavours and the rhythms of contemporary dance. They deliver a mix of strong originals and well-chosen covers; recent gigs include a live Jazz FM broadcast. urban jazz collective’s tracks Thelonius by urban jazz collective published on 2012-04-05T13:55:20Z The Third Fish by urban jazz collective published on 2012-04-05T13:48:57Z The Vista by urban jazz collective published on 2012-04-05T13:42:00Z Fathead by urban jazz collective published on 2012-04-05T13:36:19Z
