Nick Malcolm Standards Quartet at The Be-bop Club
£9.00

A gig held at The Be-Bop Club on Friday 27th April. The event starts at 20:30pm.


Nick Malcolm is becoming recognised as one of the UK’s most original voices on trumpet. Technically gifted and with a beautiful sound, he is an eclectic musician who can be found playing in situations as varied as folk musician Eliza Carthy’s Wayward Band through to free jazz, contemporary classical and his own new electronica inspired project Jade. Tonight however he returns to the world of the jazz standard. At the recent Bristol Jazz Festival Nick played an up-tempo version of Just Friends which was so fluent it might have made Wynton look twice. Nick is joined by pianist Rebecca Nash, who is now based in Bristol after living in London for several years. Rebecca performs all over the UK with projects such as Dee Byrne’s Entropi, Nick Walter’s Paradox Ensemble and vocalist Sara Colman. On bass is Will Harris who completed his MA at the Royal Academy last year and has recently toured and recorded with a group featuring US sax great Chris Potter. Drummer Dave Smith completes the group, and plays in projects as varied as the Cloudmakers trio with Jim Hart and Michael Janisch through to Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant’s band.
