John Horler's Trio's Celebrating Bill Evans is a rare opportunity to experience one of Britain's top jazz pianists playing the music he loves; music with enduring, timeless appeal.
John is a British jazz legend. He has played with everyone from Chet Baker to Dame Cleo Laine; Sir John Dankworth to Maynard Ferguson - the who's who of British jazz stars.
This special show celebrates the music, legacy and genius of Bill Evans - and the direct impact Bill had on John's illustrious musical life.
John was a 17-year-old student at The Royal Academy of Music when he first saw Bill play live in London. It was a genuinely life-changing moment.
He was so overcome - so inspired - that he fainted; carried out of the venue on his brother's shoulders. From that moment on, John devoted his life to fulfilling his ambition of becoming a jazz musician.
To say he achieved this is an understatement; John went on to become one of our most cherished jazz artists.
This is just one of John's many stories; tales he ebulliently shares in between tunes; paying homage to Bill Evans and his pioneering explorations in modern jazz.
Join us for an evening of wonderful musicianship and interplay - performed by a pianist who is one of the leading interpreters and proponents of Bill Evans' music.
John is joined by two musicians - Tim Wells on bass, and Ronnie Jones on drums - who love and admire the repertoire just as much as John does himself.
As the saying goes: Everybody digs Bill Evans.
The trio have played three sold headline shows at Ronnie Scott's (two with Alec Dankworth on bass) and have also appeared at East Side Jazz Club, Reading Jaz, and Norden Farm twice; as well as gigs at Watermill Jazz - and two successful West Country tours.
The trio have also played live on BBC Radio 3's In Tune.
