Adam Glasser Quintet – Adam (harmonica) started his career in jazz as a pianist but through the 1990s he began an increasing specialisation in the chromatic harmonica, which led to him filling in for Stevie Wonder twice. Adam’s South African roots and township rhythms are never far from his playing. His band at the Fishermen’s is Ant Law (guitar), Nigel Thomas (bass) and Paul Cavaciuti (drums) + Andy Panayi (sax/flute).
The Full Circle Quartet play their own brand of self-penned & arranged contemporary music, with influences from jazz, classical and soundtrack music. The line-up is: Josephine Davies (sax), Joss Peach (keys), Terry Pack (bass) & Angus Bishop (drums).
Terry Quinney: The Sound of Blue Note.
Terry (tenor sax) leads his band playing great tunes from the famous ‘Blue Note’ jazz record label from the 50’s & 60’s with special guest Andy Panayi on alto sax.
