NICK HILL QUARTET

Nick Hill is widely regarded as one of the best trumpeters in the UK and he is joined by the equally talented Nick Page on guitar to present some of the best jazz to be heard anywhere. The music featured will be jazz standards, with many of the numbers taken from the pen of the great songwriters like Cole Porter as well as some more modern arrangements. Not to be missed!
