Live jazz at Pangbourne features top-flight trombonist

JAZZ trombonist Mark Nightingale is Pangbourne Jazz Club's guest on Sunday evening, backed by the club's rhythm section Terry Hutchins (guitar) | Andy Crowdy (double bass) Jim Pollard (piano) and Brian Greene (drums). Entry is £10 (online or on the door), there's a cheap bar, public car parking and it's a 7.30pm start.

Multi-award-winning musician Mark Nightingale is now a firmly established favourite on the UK jazz scene, and has gained a reputation as one of the top-flight jazz trombonists in Europe and worldwide. He has had long-standing musical associations playing in bands led by John Dankworth, Cleo Laine, Stan Tracey, Kenny Wheeler, Andy Panayi, Clark Tracey and Alan Barnes over the years. He also fronts various small groups and a big band of his own, featuring his own compositions and arrangements.

Mark is also a busy studio musician in London and has played on hundreds of movie soundtracks and has been fortunate to play and record with some of the greats in all genres of music. These include Ray Brown, Clark Terry, Scott Hamilton, James Morrison, Bill Holman, Frank Sinatra, Charlie Watts, Sting and Steely Dan.

He is best known to many young players for his growing catalogue of educational studies and short pieces published by Warwick Music and used extensively by the ABRSM and Trinity/Guildhall in their music exam syllabi.

The club, at Rosewood Hall, Whitchurch Road, Pangbourne runs every first Sunday in the month. For further information brian.greene@gigajam.com
