Stuart MacDonald
Unfortunately Jon Taylor, originally to have featured, is unable to play as he is having an operation, but very fortunately we've been able to book saxophonist Stuart Macdonald in his place.
Stuart is well known to the club as a member of swinging duos with partners like Dennis Rollins, and bands like 7 Pieces of Silver and the New York Brass Band.
Tonight it's Stuart taking centre stage. A consummate musician on all the saxes, Stuart knows how to whip up a storm on a funky number, or gently squeeze every ounce of melody from a beautiful ballad like The Nearness of You. Listen to Stuart here...
With Stuart you know you are in for varied musical treat of swing, bop, blues and lyrical jazz standards, backed by the Mike Gordon Trio.
