– Fleet Jazz
“First gig of the Spring season at the Bonington and it was a cracker. Taking its inspiration for the Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd album of the same name, the band played a variety of samba, bossa nova and other Latin tunes. The audience loved it!”
– Jazz Steps
Featuring leading tenor saxophonist MARK CROOKS and award winning guitarist NIGEL PRICE (as you’ve never heard him before!), ‘Jazz Samba’ spotlights Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd’s ground- breaking 1962 recording, the first ever fully fledged bossa nova album recorded by American jazz musicians.
A commercial success, Jazz Samba topped the LP charts on its release and produced its own pop hit single – ‘Desafinado’. Mark Crooks is a lyrical and passionate saxophonist in the Stan Getz mould. He has appeared at jazz clubs and festivals throughout Europe, and at the Lincoln Centre in New York and is a long-standing member of the John Wilson Orchestra with which he has played regularly at BBC Proms.
Guitarist Nigel Price is one of the unsung heroes of the British Jazz Scene with over 600 appearances at Ronnie Scott’s, 3 years with the James Taylor Quartet and winner of the British JazzAwards and Parliamentary Jazz Awards.
Percussionist, Demi Garcia Sabat brings a wealth of experience in Flamenco, Jazz, Arabic, Latin, Iberian Folk, and pop music, having toured all over Europe, North Africa, and USA, with Marianne Windham, the founder of Guildford Jazz and a well-respected and in demand player, completing the lineup on double bass.
