Mark Nightingale and Alistair White are arguably the two finest jazz trombonists on the UK jazz scene today. These master musicians pay tribute to the music of two of their own idols, JJ Johnson and Kai Winding with arrangements by Nightingale.
Johnson was one of the first trombonists to embrace bebop music. He has long been regarded as one of the leading trombonists of the post-swing era, and along with Danish-born Winding, exerted a pervasive influence on other jazz musicians through the fifties, sixties and seventies.
Herts Jazz Artistic Director, Clark Tracey said, “We're also really pleased to have the outstanding pianist John Horler at the club for the first time. This band always goes down a storm and is another one well worth booking ahead for.”...
