Top trio to head back to jazz club

The Gabriel Latchin Trio will be making a return to Steyning Jazz Club on Friday (November 5).

Spokesman Colin Jilks said: “British pianist Gabriel Latchin, composer and bandleader, has carved a unique place for himself as one of the UK’s finest musicians, praised internationally by critics and world-renowned musicians alike.

“Known for his effortlessly swinging dynamism, deep repertoire and compelling performances, Jazzwise recently described his playing as impeccable, with the clarity of his lines evoking something of Hank Jones or Tommy Flanagan.

“A regular performer at London’spremierjazzvenues such as Ronnie Scott’s, Pizza ExpressJazzClubandthe606, Latchin can often be heard with contemporaries Sara Dowling, Atila, Nat Steele’s Portrait of the MJQ and The Steve Fishwick Quartet. He has also performed with Salena Jones, Roy Hargrove, JasonMarsalis,RonnieCuber and Grant Stewart.”
