Mike Carr (Organ) We are very proud to welcome
back the unique Mike Carr to our Sunday
lunchtime sessions at the Angel Hotel. He is surely the
 No1 Jazz Organist in
the UK having played with many stars of the UK Jazz scene including Ronnie
Scott, Dick Morrisey, John McLaughlin, Jim Mullen and Pete King to name but
a few. He has also appeared with a great many US names including Dizzy Gillispie, Coleman Hawkins, Johny Griffin and Buddy Tate. He is firmly
grounded in the Bepop Tradition and has a number of excellent CDs under his
own name. Last season he brought to Market Harborough his Blue Note Band
which was one of our high points.
Dave
Cliff (guitar) is strongly influenced by the 'Lenny
Tristano' School of Jazz having
taught under and played with the Tristano bassist Peter Ind.
Spike Wells (Drums); Spike appeared with Bobby Welllins at our last gig when he amazed the audience with his fantastic technique. Has worked with the best of British and American Jazz bands and musicians, most famously the Tubby Hayes quartet and big band from 1968 to Tubbs death in 1973
