Reviews
"I was very impressed by the quality of playing when the excellent Neil Maya Quartet performed to an appreciative audience at The Keay Theatre, St Austell. The musicians worked together as a tight unit, their individual skills highlighted with empathy and understatement. Neil Maya's playing on his own compositions was particularly moving and poignant and the quartet moved easily from ballads to swing and jazz funk. An excellent, varied evening of contemporary jazz by some of the South West's leading musicians, go see them if you get the chance, you won't be disappointed"
Phil Webb, Programme Co-ordinator, The Keay Theatre
