Jazz at Imber Court is proud to offer you a stellar line-up.
Mark Nightingale started at London’s Trinity College of Music, served his ‘apprenticeship’ with NYJO (National Youth Jazz Orchestra), is greatly in demand for studio session work and TV appearances and has rightly become known as one of the top-flight jazz trombonists worldwide, recording and playing with a wide range of artistes from Frank Sinatra to Steely Dan. He runs his own bands, composes and arranges, and is passionate about educating young players. As if that weren’t enough, we have John Horler on keyboard, who has been with Mark in John Dankworth’s band for many years, Andrew Cleyndert on double bass and Steve Brown on drums, all of whom are constantly in demand to accompany top musicians. Starts at 8.30 pm, entrance £14, raffle and a warm welcome.

The warm, gutsy sound of Al Nicholls’ tenor saxophone is back to delight us, backed for the first time at Imber Court by Leon Greening on keyboard, with virtuoso double bass player Paul Morgan and drummer Denis Smith. Expect to hear beautiful, rhythmic tunes and some incredible solos. £13.

Just to make you look forward to the next one even more!

We push the walls back for the Willie Garnett Big Band. Sixteen fine musicians play familiar and well-loved arrangements from Basie and Ellington to more recent charts. Enjoy a swinging, foot-tapping evening in a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. £12.

Pupils from various schools in Surrey, led by the excellent John Whelan, play from their repertoire of swing, big band and rock. Their musicianship is impressive, their enthusiasm infectious and they deserve their good reputation. Come and support our youngsters in these worthy endeavours. An earlier start of 8 pm, entrance £10 and an atmosphere of high energy!

The well-known reed player and band leader Alan Barnes teams up with Bruce Adams on trumpet and flugelhorn to entertain us with sparkling jazz – and wit. Robin Aspland (keyboard), Andrew Cleyndert (double bass) and Matt Home (drums) provide the sterling rhythm section. Come and enjoy the fun with us! £14.
