Graham Harvey Trio
Familiar to us here at the Club for his performances with the highly-regarded Harvey/O’Higgins Project, Graham Harvey is a wonderful pianist with a spirited, confident style and graceful touch. After seven years of study in the US during the 1980’s, he’s since worked successfully in both the pop and jazz worlds, including recording and touring with acid jazz innovators Incognito in the 90’s and US vocalist Stacey Kent since 2007. Currently a member of the Matt Bianco Band, Incognito spin-off project Citrus Sun and the aforementioned Harvey/O’Higgins, Graham also leads his own piano Trio (featuring the excellent bass & drum pairing of Jeremy Brown and Matt Home) that you’ll be hearing this evening. Existing in the sweet spot between Oscar Peterson’s swing and Bill Evans’ poetry, they will be playing tasty arrangements of well-loved standards as well as little-known gems.
