Five-Way Split
“Five-Way Split is a collective group of some of the finest contemporary musicians on the UK circuit who make a strong case for bebop and hard bop being a vital force in 21st century jazz ” – Nick Lea, Jazz Views
Five-Way Split is a jointly-led band formed in 2020 featuring some of the finest contemporary jazz musicians in the UK, fronted by internationally renowned trumpet star Quentin Collins and Greek saxophone phenomenon Vasilis Xenopoulos. The rhythm section features the golden touch of pianist and composer Rob Barron, virtuosic bassist Matyas Hofecker and dynamic drummer Matt Home. The band’s vision is to carry on the lineage of groups like Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers as well as mirroring the New York contemporary-bop scene.
The band presents a sound that respects the tradition of the hard-bop era whilst also bringing it up to date for today’s audience. With an extensive repertoire of carefully crafted and imaginative original compositions by each member, along with hip, swinging material by greats like Jimmy Heath, Cedar Walton and Horace Silver, Five-Way Split delivers a night of the best swinging and soulful music in town.
They have played sold out shows at London’s Ronnie Scott’s & 606 Jazz Club, Pizza Express Live, as well as to appreciative full houses at jazz clubs up and down the country.
Their debut album “All The Way” was recorded in 2021 at Livingston Studio in North London, and contains mostly original compositions by the band as well as a couple of choice arrangements of classic jazz standards. Released in 2023 on Ubuntu Music, the album featured in the top 20 Jazz Albums of 2023 in Jazzwise. The band was also nominated in the best band category of the 2024 Parliamentary Jazz Awards
Their latest recording, entitled Modus Operandi was recorded in Feb 2025 and is due for release later this year. It will appeal to all those fans of Hard Bop and straight-ahead, contemporary jazz music.
