Dave Keech started playing Trombone at the age of 12 and by 18 he was already a firm fixture in and around the midlands as an in-demand player. After studies at the Royal College of Art, Dave took up residence in the jazz melting pot of London, becoming one of the mainstays of Ray Gelato’s renowned 'giants’ band and guesting with a who’s-who of top ensembles during the 80’s and 90’s. He now splits his time between Japan and UK teaching and performing in both territories and heading back to the UK for special shows. He believes and proves that the trombone is a versatile and ever evolving voice in jazz and contemporary music. Dave’s rhythm section will be announced closer to the event but will include piano, double bass and drums.

Of B.D, the press says:"...Part of the reason for his accessibility is that he not only fuses jazz and rock, he compliments it with warm chords of funk, soul, and rhythm & blues..." – New York Times "Contemporary jazz guitarist B.D. Lenz lays down a funky, jamming vibe...integrating catchy good time grooves with moodier, blues-inflected pieces" – USA JazzTimesAt Woodstock Jazz, B.D.

Pianist Tom Berge has it all: he’s a man with the sort of effortless pianistic skill that makes you wish you’d carried on with those piano lessons; he has an harmonic approach that combines the musculature of Oscar Peterson with a hint of Brad Mehldau’s otherworldliness and a robust helping of Monty Alexander’s melodic cheekiness - and somehow it’s always uniquely Mr Berge on the keyboard. Tom is also a gifted film score composer and a good deal of this extra layer of musicality can be heard in his expansive playing behind the keyboard. This trio is really very, very entertaining, featuring a repertoire that spans pieces from 1930s to almost the current day presented with humour and a genuine sense of musical excitement. Paul Jefferies plays bass and Euan Palmer plays drums - a unique partnership of skills and feels.
