About the tutor
Bass player, improviser and composer John Pope is a musician with a deep commitment to creative expression and curiosity. Based in Newcastle upon Tyne he has spent over a decade working all across the spectrum of modern music, from the avant-garde to pop, folk and rock. But jazz is his creative home turf, especially with regards to improvisation and spontaneous collaboration. John has worked with prominent musicians including Joe McPhee, Evan Parker, Chris Biscoe, Roy Wiliams and many others, as well as being a founding member of the Peter Whittingham Award-supported ‘alternative-jazz’ trio Archipelago. 2021 has seen him release his first album as a bandleader, with a chord-less quintet of Northern musicians playing his free-wheeling, open-hearted compositions. His approach to music is driven by a love for the spontaneous and a commitment to expressing the joy of playing together.
