Tomorrow (Friday 9) at the Lit & Phil in Newcastle there is the opportunity to hear Leeds College of Music Senior Lecturer Kevin Holbrough play trombone as he leads a quality quartet. A cv boasting gigs with the Mingus Big Band, Gordon Goodwin and many other major jazz names together with touring theatre engagements and numerous recording sessions, Holbrough is definitely one to catch. At one o'clock on Friday Holbrough will link up once again with pianist Paul Edis (Holbrough has depped for Chris Hibbard in Edis' sextet). Joining them in a one hour lunchtime concert will be Andy Champion, bass, and drummer Russ Morgan. £5 on the door, be sure to arrive in good time, it could be a full house!
