PETE LONG & HIS BENNY GOODMAN QUARTET

PETE LONG PRESENTS HIS BENNY GOODMAN QUARTET WITH :
Colin Good/Keys - Anthony Kerr/Vibes - Richard Pite/Drums
With such a line up - Bexley is guaranteed something very special this evening.

PETE LONG has worked with them all - from Jules Holland to Dizzie Gillespie - and. as Clive Davis of The Times says - "He's a National Treasure" ! - a great musician and simply superlative entertainer.

COLIN GOOD - is an internationally acknowledged authority on the jazz piano styles of the 20s & 30s - having played with such as The Ink Spots. He is currently MD & pianist in the Brian Ferry Orchestra - music featured on the soundtrack to the Great Gatsby.

ANTHONY KERR is regarded by many as the most enchanting, exciting and original vibrophone player in the jazz idiom today - performing with the likes of Georgie Fame, BBC Big Band, George Shearing, Charlie Watts.

RICHARD PITE is a drummer who has made a speciality of vintage drumming techniques during the early days of the 20s and 30s and his heroes range from Buddy Rich to Gene Krupa andd from Ringo Starr to Charlie Watts - specialising in the visual tricks of the era. As well as drums, Richard also plays double bass and tuba/sousaphone and - in his spare time - is Director of Music for Boisdale.
