| EVENT | STRATFORD JAZZ : Ray Butcher Quintet with Ian Hill |
|---|---|
| DATE | Sunday 2 August 2009, 8pm |
|
Ray Butcher, Ian Hill, Tim Amman, Mike Green, Miles Levin. Ray Butcher has not appeared at the White Swan for some time but friends tell me he went down a storm at the 606 Club in London recently. This stellar line-up will provide exciting swinging jazz of the highest quality. |

| EVENT | STRATFORD JAZZ : Lee Jones Quartet |
| DATE | Sunday 9 August 2009, 8pm |
|
Lee Jones, Dom Franks, Dave Cranenberg, Ian Russell. If there is a more exciting young guitarist on the jazz scene at present I have yet to meet him. Lee Jones is rapidly becoming a staunch favourite with Stratford Jazz and it is easy to see why, from the riveting excitement of Hendrix to the sensitivity of Metheny, this young man has got it all. |

| EVENT | STRATFORD JAZZ : Nic Meier with Dave O'Higgins |
| DATE | Sunday 16 August 2009, 8pm |
|
Nicolas Meier, Dave O'Higgins, Pat Bettison, Asaf Sirkis. Gilad Atzmon introduced Swiss guitarist Nic Meier to Stratford Jazz and we are delighted to have him return with this new group. Two remarkable guitarists in successive weeks is quite a feat but they are very different. This time Nic Meier is accompanied by one of the UK's leading tenor sax players in Dave O'Higgins and Asaf Sirkis on drums has been described by Stratford Jazz fans as the best there is. Pat Bettison on bass is also very much in demand on the jazz circuit. Adventurous and accessible jazz - entertainment assured. |

| EVENT | STRATFORD JAZZ : Steve Tromans Trio Play Thelonius Monk |
| DATE | Sunday 23 August 2009, 8pm |
|
Steve Tromans, Aaron Diaz, Mike Green, Miles Levin. A quick welcome return to Steve Tromans this time with a quartet. Steve intends to devote most of tonight's programme to the works of his idol Thelonius Monk. Many of our regulars reckon that Steve Tromans is the best pianist around at present so another evening of quality is expected. Aaron Diaz on trumpet is a new name to Stratford Jazz but the reports are very positive. |

| EVENT | STRATFORD JAZZ : Pete Canter Quartet |
| DATE | Sunday 30 August 2009, 8pm |
|
Pete Canter, Jim Bloomfield, Erika Lyons, Mark Whitlam. "Straight-ahead, swinging jazz at its best", that was the accurate description one of our regulars offered at Pete Canter's previous gig. A mixture of classic jazz standards with the odd original piece thrown in. Jim Blomfield on piano is an exciting addition to the scene. If you like uncomplicated swinging jazz this is for you. |
