First up we saw John Etheridge a great guitarist but a bit too rocky for jazz guitar.
Then the amazing Gareth Roberts, his fantatstic trombone and his quintet.
We also caught the excellent pianist Zoe Rahman.
The best band on was definitely Empirical.
Four of them are past members of Tomorrows Jazz Warriors namely, Jay Phelps trumpet (here last year with Dennis Rollins) Nathaniel Facey saxes, Neil Charles double bass, Shane Forbes drums with outstanding pianist Kit Downes completing the quintet.Here's a performance from the Vortex Jazz Club
If you like jazz then these are your cup of tea. They have an album out shortly.
