This new quirky quartet loves to jam and is full of humour. It features International musicians Maciek Pysz on guitar, Yuri Goloubev/Michele Tacchi on bass and Adam Teixeira on drums. They have been playing venues in London to sell out crowds and are touring the UK this Autumn. Vertigo features Julian on Soprano Sax, Stefanos Tsourelis on Oud/Guitar and Adam Teixeira on Tabla/Percussion. They play a spicy mix of World Music colours and rhythms with a Western approach to improvisation. ​ Julian is also an active teacher both privately and running Jazz based workshops. ​
