Event information

Way Out West celebrate their inaugural concert at the Turk’s Head with music from the repertoire of the great Jimmy Hastings.

A true jazz gentleman, Jimmy’s saxophone and flute playing have taken him from Aberdeen through the BBC Radio Band, concerts with Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin and Tony Bennett, Whitstable cult band Caravan, jazz gigs with Art Farmer, Red Rodney and Lanny Morgan, The Dankworth Generations Band, The Tony Kinsey Big Band and The Humphrey Lyttelton Band, to recording with Radiohead. Jimmy’s own jazz small groups, particularly those with Dave and John Horler, feature his tenor sax and flute and show the breadth of his abilities.

The music tonight is chosen from the varied and warmly melodic repertoire which Jimmy has recorded and played live with his quartet, and includes classic tunes by jazz greats Clifford Brown, Horace Silver, Hank Mobley and Cannonball Adderley.

Line Up:

Nick Mills - trombone; Tony Woods, Pete Hurt, Chris Biscoe - saxes; Nette Robinson - voice; Tom Millar - piano; Gary Willcox - drums; Steve Watts - bass
