karen lane presents the music of nancy wilson & cannonball adderley
thursday 4 may
With Martin Hathaway | alto, Steve Fishwick | trumpet
Graham Harvey |piano, Simon Woolf | bass, Matt Fishwick | drums
Arriving from Australia in 2000 after performing at many of the big Asian Festivals, Karen has released five albums to critical acclaim. She’s worked with some of our finest musicians including Tom Cawley, Andy Hamill and Robin Aspland and has found herself performing in exotic places she’d never imagined she’d see including Sicily, Portafino, Nice, Monte Carlo, Berlin, Cape Town and Bucharest.
Her visit to Lauderdale House will be a unique date on the London scene when she recreates the music of Nancy Wilson. Had she not coincided with the advent of rock and soul, Nancy Wilson would have been considered one of the greatest female jazz singers of them all. Luckily she did record a number of albums with one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time, Cannonball Adderley and Karen thinks it’s high time Nancy’s music was reassessed. This is going to be a concert you should not miss!
“.. a fine and distinctive singer” Dave Gelly, The Observer

With Robin Aspland | piano, Simon Thorpe | bass
Milo Fell | drums
Roger was a late starter as a musician playing his first concert aged 28. He was one of the founding members of the Chevalier Brothers in the 1980s and played about 1,000 gigs all over the world with them. He then signed to Acid Jazz Records and started releasing highly regarded solo albums under the name of The Beaujolais Band & Vibraphonic. With Vibraphonic he had a number one hit on the US jazz charts and as a result he was signed to Disney’s Hollywood Records in LA and released two albums for them. Since 2000 Roger has concentrated on more acoustic jazz. Roger has played with most of the top jazz musicians in the UK along with Slim Gaillard, Pee Wee Ellis and others. Roger has also been prolific in the studio working on albums for many pop artists including Robert Plant, Paul Weller, Roni Size, Kirsty MacColl, Morrissey, Fairground Attraction, Rumer, Duffy, Alison Limerick, Alexander O’Neal, Omara Portuondo, Ed Motta, Shola Ama and many others.
In a blindfold test the main man of vibes Gary Burton thought that Beaujolais was ‘one of the top vibes players of the USA’. Favouring the music of 70s New York and writers like Bobby Hutcherson. McCoy Tyner, Joe Henderson and Wayne Shorter, as well as his own material with dryly humourous titles like Joe Beam and Mr Non PC, this is a near perfect band of great players whose sole aim is to give us ‘a couple of hours of seriously inventive improvisation’ based on great tunes, understated grooves and swing
carol grimes band
thursday 18 may
With Annie Whitehead | trombone, Richard Bundy | piano
Neville Malcolm | bass, Winston Clifford | drums
From her earliest beginnings busking on the streets of London to her appearance at the first ever Glastonbury Festival and her two solo albumms recorded in Memphis alongside greats like the Brecker Brothers and her appearances with contemporary ‘classical’ choir The Shout, Carol Grimes is a true artist and unique presence on the British scene. Her performances of jazz, blues, the occasional standard and maybe a poem ensure that she is always one of our most popular artists; someone who inspirese real affection. With its subtle grooves laid down by Malcolm and Clifford and the declamatory shouts of the wonderful trombonist Annie Whitehead this is one of the most genuine and human attractions to be seen anywhere.
