Bruce Adams
Bruce Adams is a masterly trumpet player in the grand manner. You don't need to attend a course of lectures in order to know what he's on about  because he speaks a musical language which everybody understands and speaks it with uncommon elegance and vigour.

His legendary richness of tone has recently been enhanced by his partnership with Eclipse trumpets, providing him with a trumpet, flugel and cornet. Bruce's long career has brought him associations with many top players who value his spectacular technique and lyrical capacity – from Kenny Baker's Dozen to a regular feature spot in Alan Barnes' Octet.

He is a multiple British Jazz Awards Winner, having been nominated more than twenty times! Bruce continues to ply his trade encompassing jazz styles ranging from Louis Armstrong to the modern-day.

Alex Garnett
Alex Garnett has been one of the leading saxophonists in the UK and Mainland Europe for over two decades, instantly recognizable by his dark, husky sound. A versatile musician and first call sideman, he has enjoyed success as both a jazz artist, composer and arranger, and an in-demand session, studio and commercial saxophonist, having racked up countless recording credits along the way.

He has played with everyone from Wynton Marsalis to the Rolling Stones and having had a weekly jam session residency at Ronnie Scott's, he has provided a much-needed platform for a younger generation of rising stars. Garnett has the whole jazz tradition under his fingertips so expect some songs you haven't heard in a while.

This will be a night to remember!
