This site is updated by thejazzplace bloke, check the site for local news.

As always there is a varied programme, representing the best the jazz scene has to offer. Please note minimum entry is now £5 for members and £6 for non-members unless otherwise stated. 
Past events.
Confirmed dates are:

pete canter.jpg - 19.67 Kb12th February- Pete Canter

Pete is one of the South-West's finest tenor and alto players, he also a composer of considerable note. Fiery bop and cool latin sounds are guaranteed, the outstanding Jim Barber trio will provide the rhythm section. For those that attended the festival last year, to see Peter King nodding his head in appreciation at Jim's playing beats any written description of his calibre.

19th February- Blues and Roots- Steve Shipman's Calling Card

A first visit to the club for Steve harmonica and mandolin, Paul Keddle- guitar and Ian Cooper - double bass. Steve's influences include the great blues harmonica players, Sonny Boy Williamson, Junior Wells and Sonny Terry.

PCQ crop.jpg26th February- Philip Clouts Quartet featuring F-IRE Collectives' Carlos Lopez-Real - saxes

Superb, uplifting music, influenced by Latin and African jazz and New Orleans funk.

Note the late start and late finish as the Wales France match will be on tonight.

Check out Philip's Myspace for some tracks from the forthcoming CD which the tour is promoting, £6/8.

 

5th March- The Good Ol' Spit and Dribble Jass Band

Ceri Williams' New Orleans band make their debut at the club. The band draws from the very top traditional players in the area and aims to kick around old favourites in the manner of The New Black Eagle and Grand Dominion Jazz Bands from the USA.

Advance notice----- 26th March Makoto Kuriya- piano, Wales' exclusive appearance- from Kobe, Japan, with masterful drummer Eric Ford---

April 16th-

Michael Janisch Saxophone Summit- check out this line-up!!! MJ- bass, the legendary Nigel Hitchcock, from New York- Joel Frahm and Alex Garnett - all international sax stars. Steve Brown-one of the top drummers in the UK, and Ross Stanley piano. Should ignite the stage....
