Denny Ilett Quartet

Guitarist Denny Ilett is of course well-known as organiser of Bristol Jazz & Blues Festival, and is one of the few musicians 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. A CD of Denny’s stunning big band arrangements of Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland is currently in production. For tonight he will be returning to straight ahead modern jazz in the esteemed company of Dan Moore - piano, Riaan Vosloo - bass and Mark Whitlam - drums.
