Get ready for a night of exceptional jazz as we feature the dynamic saxophone of Charlie Wright, the dazzling piano of Tom Kincaid, the masterful bass of Arnie Somogyi, and the ever-swinging drums of our own Roger Keay.
Charlie Wright is a saxophonist whose rich, hard bop sound immediately evokes the spirit of jazz giants like Tubby Hayes and Pete Christlieb. With over 40 years of experience, Charlie has become a beloved figure on the Midlands and North-West jazz scenes, renowned for his versatile and sensitive playing. He has shared the stage with esteemed musicians such as Dave Newton and Bruce Adams, consistently delivering performances that are both deeply rooted in tradition and vibrantly alive. Expect soulful melodies and improvisational brilliance from a true veteran of the genre.
Joining Charlie is the exceptional pianist Tom Kincaid, a musician whose style seamlessly blends the effortless intricacy reminiscent of Art Tatum with the laid-back lyricism of Erroll Garner. Tom’s impeccable ear and swinging approach have made him one of Europe's most in-demand pianists. His impressive career includes accompanying a diverse array of artists, from Elkie Brooks and Scott Hamilton to Art Themen, Alan Barnes, and even the legendary Shakin' Stevens! Prepare to be captivated by his dynamic playing and masterful command of the keyboard.
Anchoring this incredible ensemble is the world-class bassist Arnie Somogyi. Arnie is recognized as one of the UK's leading jazz bass players, having contributed to over 50 albums, including several as a leader. He has collaborated with a staggering list of international jazz luminaries, including Bobby Hutcherson, Eddie Henderson, Steve Grossman, and James Moody. His deep understanding of harmony and rhythm provides the perfect foundation for an evening of exceptional musical interplay.
And of course, no Alsager Jazz night would be complete without the steady and swinging presence of Roger Keay on drums, ensuring the rhythmic pulse that will keep your feet tapping all night long.
Come and witness the magic that happens when such exceptional talent comes together. We can't wait to share this incredible night of music with you!
