John Horler Trio

John is a highly respected pianist and composer who has earned a formidable reputation on the British jazz scene over many years. As his reputation grew he found himself increasingly supporting American jazz stars, such as Bob Brookmeyer, Clark Terry, Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Art Farmer, Pepper Adams, Bud Shank, Shorty Rodgers and Chet Baker.

“Probably best known for his long collaboration with John Dankworth and Cleo Laine, John Horler is a quiet, dedicated, gently humorous man, the kind of musician whose work steals up on you. His piano playing, almost placid on the surface, is full of unexpected turns and hidden surprises”. Dave Gelly – The Observer

John quotes Bill Evans as his single most significant jazz influence. He brings with him for this gig two giants of the UK jazz scene. We are delighted to welcome all three back to the club for what promises to be a very special evening.
