For now we are sticking with last year’s model of Tom and friends running the fantastic local jazz offer The Big Kettle with monthly jazz club special nights. We would love to be able to run more, but we are aware of the risk of booking bands and the potential need to cancel if there is covid disruption from either side. So hopefully we have struck a good balance and see how we go! We are currently only booking monthly visiting bands until Autumn 2023, but will keep our ears to the ground and if we feel able to offer more of these gigs then we will.
up next
Lorne Lofsky/ Nigel Price Quartet
Tuesday 17th October
FREE ENTRY/PWYC
Lorne Lofsky - Guitar
Nigel Price - Guitar
Ashley John Long - Double Bass
Winston Clifford - Drums
Lorne Lofsky is literally a living legend, having toured and recorded with Oscar Peterson, Joey DeFrancesco and…wait for it…Chet Baker!
He’s also perhaps more widely known in guitar circles as working and recording with the great Ed Bickert (guitarist with Paul Desmond).
Nigel Price is one of the most highly regarded and in demand guitarists on the UK jazz scene today.
He spent three years with UK funk legends - the James Taylor Quartet, was voted No.1 in the 2016 British Jazz Awards for “best guitarist” and is also a regular performer at Ronnie Scott’s, where he’s played around 600 times.
Ashley John Long’s fiery and almost impossibly virtuosic playing is really something to behold. Perhaps the most singularly impressive double bassist we have here in the UK.
Winston Clifford is absolutely bursting with music. He’s simply one of the greatest drummers to ever herald from these islands. He’s not just a great drummer. If you’re lucky he might pick up a microphone and deliver one of his jaw dropping scat solos!
