Ben Crosland’s band ‘Threeway’ came into being 22 years ago, since when they have played all the major UK clubs and festivals many times over, and recorded several highly acclaimed albums. The trio features Ben (guitar), Steve Waterman (trumpet/flugelhorn) & Steve Lodder (keys). Together they play an attractive brand of melodic, fresh sounding, subtle jazz, the material largely written by all three band members. “…as near to perfection as anyone could want” Peter Vacher, Jazzwise.
