Scarborough Jazz Club 40th Anniversary Celebration on July 28th
To celebrate forty years of Scarborough Jazz we’re putting on a free all-day event for the whole community, inviting everyone to come and celebrate with us at Scarborough Spa on Sunday July 28th
From 2pm in the Suncourt: Scarborough’s New Jazz Generation plus DJ
Multiple players from our 'new jazz generation' initiative will be performing. Details released nearer the day. These include three NJG musicians fresh from their success as winners of the Bucharest International Jazz Competition competing against musicians of all ages from across Europe. We couldn’t be more proud.
From 7pm in the Promenade Lounge
7:30-8:30 Kate Peters and Stuart Garside with the MG4
Two of the club’s favourite vocalists together, one with a trombone.
They will delight with swing classics by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald
and reworkings of contemporary pop tunes. With the house band, Mark Gordon
(keys), Bob Walker (bass), Tom Townsend (drums) and Adrian Riley (percussion).
9:15-10:30 Nigel Price Quartet
Top of the bill is a guitarist who has been a great supporter of Scarborough
Jazz and of jazz clubs around the country. Nigel is also an award winning
jazz guitarist who has played on more than fifty albums in a career spanning
over twenty five years. His quartet features Vasilis Xenopolous on tenor
sax, Ross Stanley on Hammond Organ and Joel Barford on drums. An amazing
band to bring the celebrations to a close.
