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).
Roger Beaujolais (vibes) & Tommaso Starace (sax) – they’ve both played here before but never together, though they frequently share a stage at clubs & festivals across the UK & Europe.
Expect plenty of fireworks from these two superb musicians, in a quartet which also features ace double bass player Nigel Thomas & drum maestro Milo Fell.
Greg Abate, American saxophonist performing with Nigel Price on guitar, Nigel Thomas on bass and Spike Wells on drums.
