When the TONY PITT’S ALL STARS come to play for us, we are always rewarded with their excellent performances … absolute sheer brilliance.. Excitingly, we can tell you they’ll be here again (tonight) FRIDAY, 9th November 2018, here at the FARNBOROUGH JAZZ CLUB (Kent). TONY, who plays banjo, has booked that exciting trombonists – you’ve guessed it, none-other than ROY WILLIAMS. Roy was voted No.1 jazz trombonist of the year, on four consecutive years during the ‘80s (see newsletter 30/8/2013). Joining them, we have ALAN GRESTY on trumpet &vocals, plus AL NICHOLLS on soprano &tenor sax, ANDY LAURENCE on double bass and JOHN TYSON on drums. You must admit, that is one hell of a line-up, so make sure you don’t miss this evening, starting at 8:00pm. (Non-members are always welcome). There is a Shepherd Neame bar and we have free parking.
Your hosts, Diane and Keith
