Sun 20 May - Joshua Arcoleo Quartet - £8 on door (Students ½-price)
Joshua Arcoleo (s) Ivo Neame (p) Calum Gourlay (b) James Maddren (d)

Josh Arcoleo is an exceptional talent and despite being in his early 20s has received numerous accolades. His first album Beginnings was described by Duncan Heining as, "One of the most complete debut albums in a long time. More than that its title warns of things to come."
Jon Newey in Jazzwise described him as, "A young hot-shot tenor saxophonist."

Naturally he has first class support from the impeccable Ivo Neame on keys with Calum Gourlay on bass and James Maddren on drums probably best known for their work with the Kit Downes trio.
This is a great opportunity for Stratford Jazz fans to see four young jazz talents who are destined for great things.

Sun 03 June - Geoff Eales's Isorhythm Quintet - £10

Sun 17 June - Ian Hill's 'Taba Time' Quartet - £8

Sun 01 July - Craig Milverton Trio - Oscar Peterson tribute - £8

Sun 15 July - Chris Gumbley Quintet - Cannonball Adderley tribute - £10

Sun 29 July - Mike Collins Quartet - £8

Proposed Changes

Many thanks to so many for their feed-back to the proposals regarding the switching of our jazz from Sunday evenings.

It is obvious that whatever we do we will not please everyone and we are conscious of the fact that many of you who have supported us on Sundays cannot make any other evening. However, after taking note of your views and subsequent discussions with Harvy (owner), we have decided that Wednesday evenings will be the best option for us and our first gig will be our “New Year Special” on Wednesday, 9th January 2013 when Alan Barnes and Chris Bowden will front the Tom Hill trio.

We have also decided to experiment with Sunday lunch/afternoon concerts and negotiations are presently in hand with musicians. We anticipate that we will be able to give you details of the first Sunday lunch/afternoon gig during the next week or so.

We are hopeful that this Sunday arrangement will be successful and, if so, we envisage that in the future Stratford Jazz will host two gigs per month one on a Wednesday evening and one on a Sunday afternoon.

Your views on these latest proposals will be much appreciated.

Please e-mail me at: info@stratfordjazz.org.uk or better still, have a chat at one of our Sunday evening jazz gigs - see this page LH column for programme.
