HEATHER CAIRNCROSS |
Heather sings her favourite songs in the company of her favourite musicians: DAVE NEWTON piano, STEVE THOMPSON bass and ALEX EBERHARD drums. Since leaving The Swingle Singers, Heather has performed as a soloist in venues ranging from La Scala, Milan to the Village Gate Jazz Club. She has appeared at Carnegie Hall with Stefan Grappelli, with Dizzy Gillespie at the Wolftrap festival, live on USA television and toured with Jacques Loussier. Heather recently premiered Dave Newton’s Jazz Song Cycle "Portrait of a Woman" at The Arundel Festival and since then has been busy performing in Europe and the States with John Eliot Gardiner. Dave Newton (voted Best Jazz Pianist in the British Jazz Awards 2008 for the eighth year running, and elected a Fellow of Leeds College of Music) is the accompanist of choice for many singers including Carol Kidd, Annie Ross, Tina May, Claire Martin, Stacey Kent and Marion Montgomery. We are delighted to have him back to SJC after such a long time. Steve Thompson and Alex Eberhard are both excellent local musicians, much in demand, and the driving force behind the Arundel Jazz Club. Tonight, expect only the finest songs from the Jazz Songbook. |

THE SIMON SPILLETT QUARTET |

The band pays dynamic tribute to the legacy of the late great Tubby Hayes, featuring Tubby's own compositions and those associated with him, as well as Simon Spillett's own themes dedicated to the spirit of Hayes and his contemporaries. "This band could not be better chosen, including the cream of the UK scene, who have all featured in brilliant bands celebrating the legacies of Ronnie Scott and Tubby Hayes" - Brighton Jazz Club." Hold your breath for a rollercoaster ride!" - Herts Jazz |
