PDQ sell out Chelsea's 606 Club

The Philip Dodd Quartet made a triumphant sell-out return to Chelsea’s eminently jazzy 606 Club on Thursday 3^rd March. This year’s sets included many numbers the PDQ were trying out for the first time including Charles Lloyd’s ‘Migration Of Spirit’, the concentration-demanding 5/4 groove of Don Pullen’s ‘Saturday Nite At The Cosmos’ and a brand-new original called ‘Three Long Moons’. We were also honoured by a visit from jazz royalty, as vocalist Curtis Stigers, who was in town for a few days, came along to catch the show with Nick Revell, who was providing the stand-up comedy between sets again. To keep in the loop for future 606 events, mail Philip and we'll put you on the list.



Upcoming gigs for PDQ

The Philip Dodd Quartet – Philip on piano, with Paul Mason (tenor and soprano saxophones, flute), Graham Brough (double bass) and Will Awdry (drums) – are drawing up a schedule of gigs for the next few months, which will include a return in the New Year to the 606 Club in Chelsea where they appeared this March, supported by a stand-up comedy slot by Nick Revell.

The PDQ also opened the month-long arts festival in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, performing al fresco on 10^th July. Nick Revell, by the way, will be trying out a new topical show, fronted by LBC’s James O’Brien, at the Hob in Forest Hill on Wednesday 15^th September, Wednesday 22^nd September and Wednesday 13^th October – for more details go to the Hob website.
