Bridge Music, the organisation that promotes jazz in the
Jazz Bar in Edinburgh and Glasgow Art Club, has announced a full programme for
September and October.
New York-based pianist John Colianni’s (pictured right) big swinging quartet
leads a stylistically varied September menu in both venues (Edinburgh, Wed 3
and Glasgow, Thu 4), followed by drummer Tom Bancroft’s new experimental
project, Vincent with Japanese pianist Satoko Fujii and bassist Una McGlone
(10th and 11th). Scottish National Jazz Orchestra stalwarts, trumpeter Tom
MacNiven and trombonist Phil O’Malley front their Blue Note-styled quintet
(17th and 18th). Polish guitarist Przemyslaw Straczek brings his international
quartet to Scotland for the
first time (24th and 25th) and drummer Ollie Howell slots in an extra Bridge
Music gig with his quintet at the Edinburgh
venue on Sunday September 21).
October sees
guitarist Jim Mullen return to home ground (
Edinburgh, Wed 1 and
Glasgow Thu 2) with his quartet. Then, having premiered his double big band
commission Pro-Am in late July, saxophonist
Paul Towndrow gets a bit more
compact with his Organ Trio (8th and 9th). Another Glasgow based saxophonist,
Brian Molley (pictured left) continues to spread the word of his debut album, Clock (15th and
16th) and Yorkshire’s
Eyes Shut Tight and Scottish horn quartet
Brass Jaw share
the next midweek slots, with the former in Edinburgh (22nd) and the latter in
Glasgow (23rd).
Guitarist Nigel Price’s Organ Trio completes the line-up with
gigs in Edinburgh (29th) and Glasgow (30th) as part of their extensive autumn
UK tour. Further information is available from

John Colianni's Quartet also plays Wakefield Jazz on Friday 5th September - a bit closer to N E ? Nigel Price's Organ Trio with Alex Garnett also comes to Wakefield on Friday 3rd October.
