Guitarist Denny Ilett has assembled a genuinely all-star line-up for us tonight. Denny is of course well-known as organiser of Bristol Jazz & Blues Festival, and is one of the few players around able to play convincingly in almost any style. He can be found performing in groups ranging from Gypsy Jazz through to Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin tributes, and along the way has worked extensively with New Orleans vocalist Lillian Boutté and king of funk Pee Wee Ellis. Internationally acclaimed pianist Dave Newton has been voted Best Pianist in the British Jazz Awards no less than ten times, and has long associations with some of the UK’s top instrumentalists such as Don Weller and Alan Barnes. His exquisite touch has made him accompanist of choice for vocalists such as Claire Martin and Stacey Kent. Eclectic jazz bass player Riaan Vosloo recently moved from London to Bristol with an impressive reputation established from his long-term membership of Tru Thoughts stalwarts Nostalgia 77 and involvement with Tongue Fu, the super-cool jazz-meets-poetry club night. On drums we have Ian Matthews, best know for playing with stadium rock band Kasabian, despite which he is an excellent jazz drummer who can still play with a lovely light touch. Denny Ilett - guitar, Dave Newton - piano, Riaan Vosloo - bass and Ian Matthews - drums.
