Bazz Norton - Live Jazz from Groombridge Place (2015)

Featuring Bazz Norton with his band from the fabulous venue of Groombridge Place in Kent.. His 35 year career has seen him entertain in piano bars all over the world, culminating in a seven year contract at the famous Savoy American Bar. In 2004, he opened the now widely acclaimed Piano Kensington and more recently, Piano Smithfield. The Bazz Norton jazz trio formed seven years ago and, apart from regularly performing at Piano Kensington and Smithfield, have recorded two albums. Gary Williams will be on drums. Gary's drumming technique stems from his experience playing with an eclectic mix of jazz, reggae and rock bands. His style is unusually musical, keeping an ear equally on the bass and melody. Sandy Burnett plays bass and is best known for his classical music, not only for being a presenter on BBC Radio 3, but he also has credits for musical director at The Royal Albert Hall, The Royal Shakespeare Company and The Royal National Theatre. His jazz credits include tours with Buddy Pizzarelli, Salena Jones and Lillian Boutté. Added to the evenings proceedings was Moya Ruskin on vocals.
