Located on Bishopgate near to Liverpool St Station, St Ethelburgas Centre for Reconciliation and piece has become known as a beautiful venue for world music in London. The original St Ethelburgas was destroyed by the IRA bomb in 1993 – it was rebuilt as a multi-faith centre. It’s really a great venue and this should […]
OK, I have a queue of music to listen to right now and tons of work on. I’m learning tunes for Delicatessen, I have the new Hiromi album queued up; I haven’t checked out the new The Fierce and the Dead record and I’m fascinated by Terri Lyne Carrington’s Mosaic project. So, this record by […]
No doubting Janek is a great bassplayer and I’d met him briefly and he seemed a lovely guy but I didn’t rush to get this record when it came out. I just supposed it would be another fusion blowout, chops, shredding and all that! I was wrong. I should have known. Janek is way too […]

This one is the one we’re all been waiting for. My new jazz Trio, Furniture in a self organised, self promoted double header gig with the incredible looping guitarist Matt Stevens You really need to come down to this!
I’m stoked for this gig. Furniture are the new jazz trio I’ve formed with keyboardist Rob Grundel and drummer Tadas Petrikas. It’s been quite a buzz as it’s come together very quickly. We have a great sound, some lively interaction and carefully chosen and developed repertoire. It ranges from our own instrumental approach to tunes […]
Really excited about my new trio! We’ve had a few rehearsals and some fabulous conversations. Robb, the keyboardist writes some fabulous tunes and has a really developed approach to creating music that tells a story. Tadas, the drummer, loves the Bad Plus and Keith Carlock and swings wonderfully and has a painterly, visual arts approach […]
Steve is a unique person and musician and he creates beautiful music that often draws the listener into his world. Steve has developed surely the widest audience of any solo bassist – he plays music – it just happens to be the bass guitar that he uses as a tool to paint with. His music […]
