Weave

..are a new Liverpool sextet led by Martin Smith (trumpeter with Stuart Riley Oct) An exciting front line-up of two trumpets and guitar, give these musicians an entertaining edge that encompasses early swing/Kansas City/Dixieland to frenetic Bop! Lauded by the likes of Digby Fairweather and including Tony Ormesher (guitarist with Magic Hat) this is definitely one to catch.

Marley Chingus

The energetic “Marley Chingus” revisit the Atrium after their sell-out festival 2012 appearance with original interpretations of the work of Coltrane, Monk and Mingus. Led by “Mr Charm” himself, Dave Spencer on skeletal bass, this is serious Bebop for the 21st century!

Paul Latham / John Ellis Quartet

Trombonist and singer Paul Latham entertains with songs and music from the wide history of jazz and blues including Nina Simone, Ray Charles and Duke Ellington. He is ably supported by the John Ellis Quartet, with John on keyboards and vocals too; Neil Yates on trumpet. A good one leading up to Christmas!
