Jami Sheriff in Studio


Jami Sheriff is in the studio this week to record some new compositions with his latest quartet project. Another trans-pennine project with a Manchester rhythm section of Pete Turner (bass) and Luke Flowers (drums) with York based Rob Lavers on saxophone.

UPDATE
The band managed to get in for a few hours the evening before the session to set-up in the studio and then managed to record a CDs worth of material on their day in the studio.

Alex Munk receives Yahama Jazz Scholarship






Alex Munk has been awarded a prestigeous Yamaha Jazz Scholarship at the All Parliamentary Jazz Appreciation Group's Summer Jazz event on 1 July at Westminster, London. Yamaha has created a series of jazz scholarships in association with Jazzwise magazine and the All Party Parliamentary Jazz appreciation group.

A band made up from the 2009 Scholars played a set to an invited audience of the jazz loving MPs and 'movers and shakers' of the national jazz scene.
