John Turville 8pm £7
 |
The
John Turville trio are becoming increasingly recognized as one of the
leading contemporary jazz trios in the UK. Recent winners of the coveted
‘Promoter’s Choice’ award, they received featured slots last year at
the London, Scarborough and Manchester Jazz festivals last year and will
perform tracks from their new album ‘Midas’ tonight as part of their
national tour. With influences ranging from South Indian classical music,
to tango, contemporary jazz and classical music, the trio has a fresh and
approachable sound that is both modern and deeply lyrical.
"I was struck by the musicality of the playing, the sensitivity and
empathy in the ensemble and the lyricism and development… There isn't a
moment when anything is overplayed [and] they play with a maturity well
beyond their years" Tim Whitehead
“Excellent jazz pianist whose subtle ebb and flow echoes [the great]
John Taylor” - The Guardian |

8pm £12

"Best Jazz
Vocalist" at the BBC Jazz Awards in 2007 and 2004, Ian Shaw has
already amassed a number of highly acclaimed albums and is a popular
performer both in the UK and the US. An incredibly colourful character, he
has been cited, along with Mark Murphy and Kurt Elling, as one of the
world's finest male jazz vocalists. When Ian first played The
Brunswick, a power cut blacked out half of Hove. All he needed were
some candles, a piano and his wonderful voice to deliver one of the best
concerts we have had.

Sunday 1st AugustNette
Robinson's Little Big Band 8:00 £7
 |
The
Little Big Band Plays is a homage to and celebration
of big band legends Count Basie and Duke Ellington. But
there’s a twist. Despite the album being a salute to two pianists,
Nette Robinson’s outfit includes no piano. In fact there are no
chordal instruments to be found in the Little Big Band. The result:
a great sense of space and musical freedom.
Nette
Robinson (Voice/Arranger), Tony
Woods (Saxes/Flute/Alto Clarinet), Adrian
Fry (Trombone), Will Hyland (Double
Bass), Chris Nickolls (Drums) |
