James Wade-Sired
James Wade-Sired is one of the really impressive young trombonists currently appearing on the UK jazz scene. Still at college it’s a testament to his real talent that he includes work with the likes of Clark Tracey, Art Themen, Cleveland Watkiss and Byron Wallen on an already lengthy and impressive cv. Tonight he will be bringing in his quartet of Noah Stoneman-piano, Menelik Claffey-bass and Will Cleasby-drums to play original music 'inspired by the likes of Freddie Hubbard, McCoy Tyner and Woody Shaw', along with favourite jazz standards. Oh, and watch out for his Special Guest, one of the UK's most acclaimed and beloved saxophonists, Tony Kofi.
“Wade-Sired…showing a confidence and maturity way beyond his…years held the audience captive with a spellbinding solo that makes one wonder what this young man will accomplish in the future: a star in the making!” The Jazz Mann
