Album release show by the local jazz quartet The Shadow Quartet, playing spiritual jazz at Sela Bar & Pizzeria.
The Shadow Quarter are playing Sela Bar & Pizzeria on Thursday 22 October, their album release show. It's a local jazz quartet, and the night is the launch of their new record, so the set will be built around the new material.
The band is made up of Leon Johnson, Adam Richards, Johnny Khan and Paul Baxter. They're described as local jazz legends, and their sound is a cinematic brand of spiritual jazz that looks back to the late 1960s. If that's a bit vague, think of the kind of jazz that feels like it belongs on a soundtrack rather than just in a club — the spiritual side usually means it's more about mood and texture than tight, fast-paced changes.
Sela is an 18+ bar, and there are a few things to know about the layout before you head in. The event space and the toilets are both down narrow sets of stairs, and there isn't a disabled toilet on site, though large-print menus are available on request. It's worth keeping in mind if you're planning your evening.

The music runs from 20:00 to 23:45, so it's a full night rather than a short set. Entry is pay-what-you-feel, with £5 suggested, and the venue is at 20 New Briggate, Leeds LS1 6NU.
