Hexagonal sextet bring their rich melodies, vibrant harmonies and foot-stomping grooves to the Devonshire Park Jazz Sessions. Expect high energy from this band, to pick you up and keep you going throughout the night.

Hastings-based Hexagonal jazz band has played to enthusiastic audiences at clubs and festivals including Love Supreme, Scarborough Jazz Festival, Herts Jazz Festival, and as well has broadcast sessions on BBC Radio3’s Jazz Now. The group’s debut album McCoy & Mseleku (HRCD, 2018) was launched at the legendary 606 Jazz Club London.

Formed in late 2016, to perform the music of legends Bheki Mseleku and McCoy Tyner, born of an ambition of love and experience from the “pleasure and pressure” of working with two titans of Jazz piano. Hexagonal is a band with a foot stomping rhythm section. Propelling the music forward is a fanfare of horns from the trumpet and saxophones dancing along. Weaved all together by lyrical “chording and fluttering pentatonic runs” on the piano.

The musicianship within Hexagonal is “assured, empathetic and communicative” and at the same time “trenchant soloing a plenty”. This band, with African and Jazz influences, is sure to deliver another “high energy” live performance of deep blues and groovy music.
