Kieron Garrett Quartet

Kieron Garrett - piano, Mike Sayers - alto sax, Marcus Vergette - bass, Coach York - drums

Pianist Kieron Garrett has been well known on the London circuit for many years, and has performed at some of the UK’s most famous venues including Ronnie Scott’s, 606 Club, the Jazz Café, Pizza Express Jazz Club and the Royal Albert Hall. He has shared stages with some of the UK’s finest musicians including Dave O’Higgins, Tony Kofi and Vasilis Xenopoulos, and has so far recorded two albums with his quartet and several with his funk group Synthonic. Now relocated to the less hectic environment of Sidmouth, Kieron has hooked up with many of the best players based in Dorset and Devon and is busy energising the jazz scene on the south coast.

Joining Kieron are Mike Sayers on sax, a really melodic player with a great alto sound, and the rhythm team of Marcus Vergette and Coach York on bass and drums. Marcus and Coach have for many years been the rhythm team powering Mike Westbrook's Uncommon Orchestra, with which they have performed at Ronnie Scott's and international festivals.

The set includes some bebop classics alongside some classy funk tunes from the likes of Grover Washington, Jeff Lorber and The Crusaders.
