Festa: Derek Nash Acoustic Quartet

From smooth cool to groovy funk, to ingeniously recast standards, to quite gorgeous ballads, the music fizzes with energy, even at its most restrained.

Derek Nash saxes, David Newton piano, Geoff Gascoyne bass, Sebastiaan de Krom drums.

Derek is renowned for his energetic, passionate and charismatic performances on baritone, tenor, alto and soprano saxes and has won many prestigious Jazz awards.
David was voted best Jazz pianist in the British Jazz for the thirteenth time in 2004. Not to mention the honour of being the Fleece Jazz President.
Geoff is a bass player, composer and producer, and has played with a variety of groups in a variety of styles finally forming his own jazz group in 1999.

A quartet of this quality can only mean an evening of great music to be savoured like a good glass of port.
