Frontier
|

Ah yes, time for a bit of class, some very tasty, tight musical synergy.... so, any fans of jazz guitar out there? Pat Metheny? Wes Montgomery?......... Geoff Walters & Paul Collins? - who - I hear you cry? Well, these guys are the front of Frontier, and front it well they do. Bringing up the rear (if you'll scuse the expression) are Mark Milner on bass, Barry jazzclub Parfitt on keys and Mike Paxton on drums.
You might call it jazz fusion, or jazz funk or jazz blues or just bloody good!

Here Come The Girls - again... Take II!
We got snowed off at the last attempt in January, so here we go again. After their fantastic sell-out gig last summer with the Mill Hill Music Festival - we just had to get those girls back again. The lovely and talented Hilary Cameron on piano and vocals, but this time with of addition of a superb new singer Emma Wilson, and welcoming back Michele Drees on drums and Julie Walkington on bass. And now, we're really pleased to say that we have the amazing Roz Harding on sax joining us as a special guest. Just tooo good to miss - so don't!

Stewart Curtis' K-Groove

The Brand New Album !!!!
He's a saxmaniac is our Stew - playing everything from the tenor down to a picolino! & one thing for sure - Mr Curtis and his award winning band are always very welcome here at The Club. Their cross over blend of Klezmer jazz with Latin flavours really goes down a treat & is fantastically received by exuberant audiences. Great music, great musicians - lousey jokes!

Jo Devall & friends
|
|
Always a real treat to have Jo sing with us. Over the years (& she's still in the blossom of her youth (ish)) Jo has fine-honed her tones to become the accomplished jazz vocalist she is today. With shades of Lady Day and Ella, Jo's melange of styles moves through straight jazz to blues and soul. & you can be guaranteed there'll be some great players in the band too.

The Shepherd / Garnett Quintet
|
|
Hang on to your hats chaps - it's gonna be a bumpy ride!
Looking forward to this one - Richard is fast becoming one of the hottest new talents on the UK jazz sax scene. He's been a regular feature soloist in NYJO & now with Steve Talyor's Big Band and has played alongside some of the greats. & this other chap... yes, it's Alex Garnett, of whom we had the pleasure (that don't sound right?) anyhoo, Alex guested with us a while back, and it was a great night. So put these two together & there's a recipe for some real hot stuff!
