Pete Horsfall
“Truly individual and refreshing”
Jazz in Europe
Singer, trumpet player, songwriter and producer Pete Horsfall is a wonderful musician, probably best known at the Club for his work with Kansas Smitty’s, of which he is a founding member. He has performed at most major UK jazz venues and festivals, including Ronnie Scott’s & the Barbican and has made numerous international appearances, including a week in New York City at Jazz at Lincoln Center. His album, ‘Nighthawks’, was acclaimed by the Guardian as ‘ravishing’, and he's also worked with artists including including DJ Premier, De La Soul, Kurt Elling, Jamie Cullum, Guy Barker and Friendly Fires. For this show, Pete will be joined by one of the UK's leading pianists (& fellow Kansas Smitty's alum) Joe Webb and his trio (Will Sach-bass & Sam Jesson-drums). Brought together by a shared passion for early swinging jazz, they have since gone on to develop a unique open approach that sees them experiment with diverse elements of style, form and material. A fantastic foursome!
