DEREK NASH QUINTET

DEREK NASH is back with us once more - Son of Bexley - Multi Saxophonist - Leading UK Saxophonist - Leader of Award winning Sax Appeal - co-leader of funk groove band Protect The Beat - and featured member of the Jools Holland Rythm & Blues Orchestra. Derek's a great musician and all round Showman who brings in the crowd wherever he plays. With him this evening will be :

MARTIN SHAW - One of this country's top jazz trumpet soloists in an extraordinary range of settings - from Big Band to Quartet - from Cutting Edge Jazz to Pop and Funk.
In 2001 Martin was appointed Professor of Jazz Trumpet at the Birmingham Conservertoire. He is a stunning musician at the top of his game.

DAVE NEWTON - during his Renfrewshire upbringing Dave Newton was immersed in the piano sounds of Peterson, Tatum, Garner. After establishing himself on the Scottish Jazz scene Dave met up with his old room mate from Leeds College of Music - Alan Barnes - who persuaded him to move South and the rest - as they say - is history.
Dave was voted best jazz pianist in the British Jazz Awards for the 13th time in 2014 - and in 2013 was made a Fellow of the Leeds College of Music.

The rythm section is completed by that fat-toned & thoughtful Bassist GEOFF GASCOYNE - also Composer, Arranger and Producer.

SEBASTIAAN DE KROM is quite simply one of the best drummers in the business - his knowledge of jazz is second to none - a stix man extraordinaire !
