Newsletter – August 2024

Hello Everybody,
I hope you are enjoying a good summer.

Looking ahead to the Autumn and the beginning of 2025, we have series of jazz gigs, which I think you will enjoy.

Beginning in September, on the 16th at the Everyman Irving Studio, we have the Yetii Trio with Jake McMurchie.
Jake McMurchie Sax/Alex Veitch piano/Ashley John Long bass/Alex Goodyear drums.
The Yetii Trio has been making waves in the South West jazz scene with a monthly residency at The Greenbank in Bristol. Jake McMurchie is a man of many parts; he has been the driving force behind the award-winning band ‘Get the Blessing.’ To give you a flavour, remember John Law’s Re- Creations Quartet with Alex Goodyear on drums, one of our best gigs in 2023.

And what can we say about 11th of October at the Victory Club.
We have an all-star line-up for you, celebrating our 40th Anniversary – can you believe it!!
Featuring Alan Barnes Sax/Art Themen Sax/Sara Oschlag vocals/Dave Newton piano/Dave Green bass/Steve Brown drums.
It is hardly worth commenting about this gig – it will be exceptional!

On the 1st of November we have our annual visit from the States of Greg Abate with a superb line-up of Greg Sax/Dave Newton piano/Henrik Jensen bass/Tony Mann drums.
We all love Greg, and he still has the energy to come and see us, he is such a character.

Moving on to the new year, we have booked at The Everyman Irving Studio Malcolm Earle Smith/Tony Kofi Quintet for the 13th of January and The Steve Waterman Latin Jazz Quartet for the 10th of February.

Looking forward to seeing you in the Autumn.
Gil Emery (Chairman).
