To round off a great year of jazz, we have our special Christmas concert with the Alan Barnes Quintet on December 11th. Carshalton Jazz regulars will need no introduction to Alan, who we’re privileged to have as our Patron.
His playing, on a range of saxes and clarinet, is always exciting and expressive and the wry humour of his on-stage comments adds to the delight of the evening.
On this occasion, he is sharing the stage with the awesome Art Themen, who did a staggeringly good gig for us in March. It will be tremendous to see these two great sax players together.
They are bringing an impressive rhythm section of Andy Cleyndert on bass, Dave Newton on piano and Clark Tracey on drums.
Each of them is a familiar and much-respected player on the jazz circuit and together they’ll make a world-class rhythm section for Alan and Art.
That may seem like an over-use of superlatives, but they are well deserved - this gig will be a highlight of your Christmas!
There will be more jazz in the bar after the concert. And be prepared for a raffle!
