Wednesday 8th Feb
Jez Franks Standards Trio
Jez Franks - Guitar
Julie Walkington - Bass
Nick Smalley - Drums
“…a staggering improvisational force” All about Jazz website
“Franks is a fluent but punchy player, supple, long-lined solos streaming from his guitars” Chris Parker
“Jez Franks is an accomplished guitarist, capable of dazzling runs and meaty chord play that at times remind me of Kurt Rosenwinkel”, Tom Barlow, Jazzwise
Wednesday 15th Feb
Nick Tomalin Trio
Nick Tomalin (piano) Dominic Howles (bass) Matt Fishwick (drums) The trio is mainly a vehicle for Nick’s original compositions, although they also play some unusual covers taken from rock and pop repertoire. The music draws on many influences including Keith Jarrett, Andrew Hill and John Taylor. Expect melodic themes fused with contemporary grooves and free jazz. http://www.nicktomalin.co.uk
Wednesday 22nd Feb
Chris Allard Quartet
Chris Allard: Electric and Acoustic Guitars with brandon allen - tenor sax
malcolm edmondstone - piano
ollie hayhurst - bass
nick smalley - drums
"Rocking with bluesy angular lines...somewhere between Scofield and Carlton with a dash of fleet-footing Martino...he demonstrates gorgeous nylon-string polyphony...evocative acoustic work...demonstrates enough compositional and stylistic colour from his five-man band to suggest bebop is far from being Allard’s only brush" Guitarist - Four Stars
Wednesday 29th Feb
Tom Hewson/Alam Nathoo
Tom Hewson – Piano, Alam Nathoo - Saxes
Tom and Alam have been playing regularly as a duo for many years, and the musical effects of this playing relationship are obvious in their playing of standards and newly-written compositions.
"Emerging Piano Virtuoso" - Time Out
"Extraordinary technique, developing an interesting and individual voice"- Sebastian Scotney
'Nathoo's tone was warm but his sound surprisingly powerful'- Chris Parker
