Leon Greening, piano; Adam King, double bass; Matt Fishwick, drums.

Pianist Leon Greening's hard swinging style has made him a favourite on the jazz scene forover a decade, and he makes no apologies for his adoration of the great bebop pianists, with Wynton Kelly, Bobby Timmons and Bud Powell among his primary influences.

Award winning bassist Adam King is new to the scene but has already made his mark, receiving high praise for a live concert with Julian Joseph's trio on BBC Radio 3, and having worked with Pete King, the late Stan Tracey and Gilad Atzmon, among others. Drummer Matt Fishwick will need no introduction, regularly seen alongside UK luminaries such as Alan Barnes or Dave Newton, and having spent a stint living in New York working with Anita O'Day.

Together they'll be playing arrangements from theirlatest CD, "Cookin' in Brooklyn".


Support tonight comes from New York guitarist Ofer Landesberg, who moved from Israel to New York City at the age of 17 to study with bebop pioneer and pianist/teacher Barry Harris. Now resident in Europe, they're lucky to have this highly talented and idiosyncratic performer lead his trio for a set, featuring Italian double bassist Dario di Lecce.
