Sept 21st GLASS MYSTERY THE MUSIC OF TOM HARRELL
John and Pete pay tribute to the music of one of their key inspirations: the US trumpeter whose playing and compositions are somewhat under-rated – beautiful, lyrical and deceptively simple lines with dense, idiosyncratic harmonies. John Hulme (trumpet, flugelhorn), Peter Lyons (tenor saxophone), Adam Fairhall (piano), Gavin Barras (double bass), Gaz Hughes (drums).

Sept 28th DERRICK HARRIS QUARTET
Classic guitar trio sounds featuring the compositions and great guitar playing of Derrick Harris. Joel Purnell (Sax), Adrian Knowles (bass) & Ronnie Bottomley (drums)

Oct 5th THE BEST OF JAZZ IN SHEFFIELD
This event was a huge success last time we did it, featuring the finest in Sheffield Jazz. Expect to see all the usual suspects plus some rising stars, playing in a variety of combinations.

Oct 12th STEVE BUCKLEY TRIO
From T-Bone Walker to Rockabilly via Miles Davis! A rocking rollercoaster of twang, sleaze, ballads, rockabilly, breakbeat and bolero from the incredible guitar of Steve (Billy) Buckley. Eryl Roberts (drums), John Ellis (organ).

Oct 19th THE TRASHCAN COLLECTIVE
Playing a selection of originals and vocal standards. Influenced by the American standards and great jazz composers such as Monk and Mingus, the tunes are melodic, built on strong harmonic progressions and manage to strike the balance of having a wide ranging appeal whilst still sounding original. Atholl Ransome (saxes), Alec Robinson (keys), Bruce Reid (double bass), Rob Turner (drums), with Brian Acton (guitar and vocals).
