Beware of the Bear is the brainchild of multi-award winning UK saxophonist Phil Meadows. Recognised as one of the most distinctive, creative and talented musicians in Europe; his music is inspired by global sounds, rooted in jazz and drawing influence from electronica, hip-hop, Afrobeat, contemporary music and more.
Having performed across Europe with Matthew Herbert, worked as a guest conductor and arranger for the Grammy-award-winning Metropole Orkest, and been invited to collaborate on projects in Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland and the UK, Meadows returns to Nottingham for the first time post-pandemic, bringing his band to perform at Peggy's Skylight.
Joined by regular collaborators Michael De Souza (guitar), Joe Downard (bass) and Jay Davis (drums), the music combines soaring melodies, atmospheric soundscapes, and head-nodding grooves; inspired by the sounds of Bill Frisell, Donny McCaslin, GoGo Penguin and Bill Laurance.
