Last year and this are the first occasions when students who followed the Saturday junior Academy programme and then went right through to the senior college jazz course are emerging onto the scene: trumpeter Freddy Gavita, and drummer Josh Blackmore , Kit Downes (piano/keyboards) for example. All now very busy, and interesting, and evolving young musicians. And one or two of them should be back to play with those following in their footsteps on the 17th. But if you go, you will also hear the current crop of Junior Academy players. Nick Smart, who runs the programme, tells me his best current Saturday band which will be featured, is something quite astounding……
If you expect a seat, Charlie Wright’s might not be your kind of club!
