Jazz @ Le Petit Parisien

Sunday evening sees the quaint French bistro Le Petit Parisien transformed into the most happening jazz hub in South East London.  Booked by the same organisation that books Jazz Live @ The Crypt - Camberwell's answer to Chelsea's 606 Club - it's no surprise that the jazz is always of the highest standard.  


The night is labelled ‘On The Up’ – perhaps a reference to the continuing regeneration plans of Camberwell and the surrounding areas.  Regular musicians include vibraphonist Jim Hart, drummer Pete Cater and flautist supreme Gareth Lockrane.  


That the gig can happen weekly, and for no entrance fee, is testament to the organisation and hard work of Simon Fernsby – regular guitarist here, and MD of the On The Up house band. 

It’s well worth a visit.

September line-up:

5          Tommaso Starace Quartet

12        Marama Café Band

19        Bob Martin with the On The Up House band

26        Tony Kofi with the On The Up House band

Sunday evenings 7:30pm  |  Free entry  |  16 Grove Lane, Camberwell SE5 8SY

   

Album Launch - Darning the Dream

My album was launched on Wednesday 17th March to a packed 606 club. We had the pleasure of album-guest Jim Hart playing live with us which added an extra dimension to the regular jazz quartet sound. Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing" became awash with lush harmonies and hard-edged mallet timbres; "I only have eyes for you" was transformed by the mesmerising speed of a vibes solo. Highly enjoyable! I can't wait to get on the road and play the album material for jazz audiences around the country. All the tour dates are listed here. The album is available from: AMAZON http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00380PDFG?ie=UTF8&tag=propemusicd05-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=B00380PDFG
