Trombonist Mike Hext, who was the first ever winner of BBC Young Musician of The Year in 1978, is involved in a new monthly jazz night at the Robertsbridge Jazz Club.

The gig is scheduled for the second Thursday of every month, presenting top British jazz musicians in an intimate setting, deep in the East Sussex countryside.

After an overwhelming response to the opening night earlier this month, future events include:

– Mike Hext (Trombone) with Rob Leake (Sax), Malcolm Edmonstone (Piano), Paul Kimber (Bass) and Pete Beament (Drums) on June 12th.

– Liane Carroll (Vocals) with Malcolm Edmonstone (Piano), Roger Carey (Bass) and Andrew Bain (Drums) on July 10th.

– And thereafter on the second Thursday of each month.
