John Dennis on keyboards and John Collings on bass are the bedrock of Equinox. Both grew up with the sound of 70's funk and this can be heard to influence the strong rhythmic pulse of their music.
As well as performing as a duo, Equinox regularly appear with other artists. They have a strong creative relationship with the vocalist Anna Stone (website here), with whom they have made five demo recordings for this website (go to recordings). The band also perform as a trio with the sax player Phil Brown - concentrating mainly on well-known jazz standards. The band take their inspiration from many different sources. As well as jazz standards they have made arrangements of songs by artists as diverse as Amy Winehouse, Joni Mitchell and Nina Simone. |
