The Ben Cox Band
This exciting young band are set to tour in 2014 with their new album "This Waiting Game". All four are steeped in jazz history, but they write their own songs too. Influences range from Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon to James Taylor, but you'll also get some great American Songbook. Fronted by the sensational Ben Cox, whose voice takes in the cool stylings of Chet Baker and mixes it with the soulful, mellow tones of a modern jazz singer. Sassy and slick with great arrangements and beautiful songs mark out this vocal lead jazz group.

Clark Tracey Quintet
Iconic drummer Clark Tracey has a brilliant track record in finding, selecting and developing some of the best talent in jazz through his quintets - and giving them space to write for the band (to mention but one - Zoe Rahmann ). This latest grouping is surely one of his finest - a hugely gifted bunch - recently emerged from the UK’s jazz conservatoires.
