NIGEL THOMAS is a top professional double bass player, composer, bandleader and teacher. He has strong soul and blues influences in his background and an affinity with the swinging Jazz masters of the 40’s and 50’s onwards, through to the ethnic and contemporary Jazz of today. His quartet features NIGEL THOMAS, double bass; PAUL BOOTH, saxophone; MARK EDWARDS, piano; WINSTON CLIFFORD, drums. Their programme will include arrangements of standards and original compositions, music with elements of bebop, blues and world music, but always strongly rooted in the jazz tradition.
