Bruce Adams/Mark Nightingale
Bruce Adams has been a stalwart of the UK jazz scene for almost 50 years, performing with the likes of Harry Sweets Edison, Buddy Tate, Al Cohn and Benny Waters and is widely regarded as one of the finest mainstream cornet/trumpet players in Europe. Lately, Bruce has appeared regularly here at the Club with iconic UK saxophonist Alan Barnes, but for this show he’ll be joined by one of the UK's most respected, award-winning trombonists, Mark Nightingale. The 18 times winner of the British Jazz Awards “Best Trombonist” (yes, that’s 18 times…) Mark includes work with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Henry Mancini, Michel Legrand, Kenny Wheeler & George Shearing on a remarkable cv (and it's Mark's playing you heard on Sting's best-selling album, 'Ten Summoner's Tales'). A terrific, swinging jazz gig from two masters of the genre.
“Bruce Adams…there is as much delicacy as power in his playing” Guardian; "Mark Nightingale never puts a foot wrong, producing a string of solos which are constantly inventive while keeping your foot tapping". Crescendo & Jazz Magazine
