7:30 PM
Local jazz legends team up for a fantastic evening of groove.
Dave Keech - trombone
Colin Watling - saxophone
Craig Stallwood - piano
Laurence Evans - double bass
Lez Cirkel - drums
Dave’s formidable trombone playing is underpinned by the classical techniques of his brass band roots, is infused by his passion for the jazz masters, and demonstrates his belief in the instrument as a versatile and evolving voice in contemporary music.
Colin is rated by many as one of the most exciting tenor saxophonists on the circuit with his melodic, swinging sound. He is a mainstay of the region’s jazz scene, the Hertfordshire-based tenor sax colossus.
Craig was classically trained from the tender age of 10 and joined his first professional band, a 10-piece soul band, when he was just 17. He's played with dozens of bands over the years of almost every musical taste including salsa, reggae, ska, blues, jive…although his first love is definitely for jazz. He's house pianist at the high-energy, up-tempo Luton Jazz Jam.
Laurence and Les make up a formidable rhythm section, having played together at monthly gigs at the Highander, Hitchin as well making frequent appearances in the house band at the Hitchin Jazz Jam
