Jon Lloyd Quartet – The European Sound.
“We play great European Contemporary Jazz. The music is both sensitive and exuberant, melodic yet harmonically exciting, and has a persuasive way of reaching an audience which some of the current complex jazz performers have perhaps lost sight of. Notable recent concerts have included Charleville Action Jazz in France, 606 club and PizzaExpress in London, Birmingham Jazz, Fleece Jazz, The Wiltshire Music Centre and Swanage Jazz Festival. Renowned Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen is also a fan!

Performing music from his second album Americana (released April 2025), Eddie Gripper tells the story of an 8,000 km hitch hiking journey from Alaska to California, completed in under two months during the summer of 2022. The music captures the vast landscapes and unforgettable moments along the way - from sleeping in the Alaskan wilderness to cycling down Santa Monica Pier - offering a vivid, hopeful, yet unflinching reflection on American life.

Gareth Williams and Dave Green have agreed to recreate their “Tribute to Bill Evans and Scott la Faro” of some years ago as a testimonial to Simon Radford.
Whilst you will hear very direct influence and in-depth reworking of the original stylistic devices, you will also hear the individual skills and styles of Dave and Gareth. Gareth has immersed himself in the harmony of Bill Evans for many years and Dave is a Scott La Faro disciple, so expect a thorough investigation into the sound world of Bill Evans and Scott La Faro.
