Mike Hall + MG3
We welcome back saxophonist Mike Hall. Mike is a leading educator, band leader, composer, arranger and sideman. His musical projects include a duo with guitarist Andy Hulme, a quintet featuring trumpeter Steve Waterman, an octet playing West Coast ‘cool’ jazz and a 12 piece ensemble playing original composition. He gigs regularly with these and with other top players like Alan Barnes and Gaz Hughes
For 25 years, as Coordinator of Jazz Studies at the Royal Norther College of Music, Mike taught the subjects he is most passionate about: jazz, big band and improvisation. He continues to run jazz workshops and summers schools. His visit to the club last year was an absolute joy.
The support set this evening features songwriter/drummer William Cline Bailey. William already has several albums to his name with recent releases featuring Scarborough-based musicians. His band tonight will be an equally rich mix of talent assembled to play a set of smooth jazz originals.
Doors 7.45. Music 8.15. Minimum donation £5.
