Trumpeter Steve Fishwick's latest project explores nonet music from McCoy Tyner's seminal and underated album Tender Moments, featuring the lush sonorities of tuba and french horn within the instrumentation (still unusual and rarely used within a jazz ensemble). The programme will also feature original music by Steve, inspired by this rich tradition of the nonet in jazz music. Expect high energy swing, beautiful ballads, and exciting playing from some of London's very best jazz musicians.

"Steve has his own style. He plays from the bottom to the top of the horn whilst maintaining the integrity of the chords. I can't think of another trumpet player that can do what he does." Wynton Marsalis

'Hip middle register melodious bebop, but when Steve lights his wick he becomes a flying fish, soaring above the waves, totally in control!' Ira Gitler
