Alex Garnett Quartet
|
|
Alex Garnett, often referred to as 'Son' or 'Sonny' has been one of the leading saxophonists in the UK and Mainland Europe for over 2 decades, being instantly recognized by his dark, husky sound. He's one of those players that everyone knows about and has deep respect for, who can do anything from the most burning straight ahead to free improvisation. A hugely versatile musician and first call sideman, he has enjoyed success as both a professional creative jazz artist, composer and arranger, and an in demand session, studio and commercial saxophonist, having racked up countless album sideman and recording credits along the way.

Marco Marconi Trio

Keyboard player Marco hails from Italy and brings a towering talent. His interpretations of jazz standards and of his own compositions translate into flowing melodies that at times can be completely mesmerising.

Mill Hill celebrates its 10th bi-annual Music Festival at our Jazz Club with the fantastic international singing star Tina May.

Jazz Jam Night
|
|
Here's the chance for you hear, play, sing, dance, whistle and clap your hands to Jazz played from the heart and with genuine soul. Talented musicians from across the universe (but not Alpha Centuri - they're too posh to be let in) travel light years through space and time to reach Mill Hill every the Wednesday of every month so that they can share the stage with like minded Jazzers.
All soloists are kept under strict supervision (oh yeah! like that's gonna happen) by our house band of Ted "Tinkly" Beamant on keyboard, Steve "I told you to stop" Picking on bass and Mike "Paradiddle" Paxton on drums.
Such Fun !!!!
