27th Augustfrom Connecticut, USA- the fabulous Jeff Barnhart with Anne Barnhart and Ceri Williams (not from Connecticut)

Those of you who saw Jeff last time witnessed the club piano being worked over like nothing before. This incredible performer storms through the repertoire of Jelly Roll Morton, Scott Joplin, Fats Waller and the great early stride and blues pianists. His humour and joie de vivre is infectious and his technique, dazzling. Joined by his wife Anne for a couple of numbers on flute, they form the duo 'Ivory and Gold'. Jeff has recorded prolifically and is one of the busiest performers on this and the other side of the pond. £6/£8

Swing your pants with the boys from West Wales

Elegance and sophistication from this cultured trio , with the fab Erika Lyons on bass and Lee Goodall at the kit.

Welcome to my site for all things jazz:- gig dates, blogs, articles, audio, video and so it will take some time to pad out but keep coming back to have a look what's new.

Whether you're a moldy fig into British Traditional, New Orleans, Chicago, ragtime etc or an uber-modernist post-bop, hard-bop, be-bop, re-bop funk fusion lover, have a look around and if you've got any suggestions for articles then email me at   This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and do the same for a gig or event listing. cheers, Ceri.

 

 


The track you'll hear if you hit play below is Breeze played by the Good Ol' Spit & Dribble Jass Band and is fondly dedicated to the memory of the late great Bob Gribble. There is A video now in the audio and video section.

To keep hearing the music, right click and open any page in a new tab to browse if you've got IE7 or Firefox, I'll sort a pop-out player soon.
