Hello,
Thanks a lot for the request

The Simon Kaylor Quartet @ Welcome Home Sexy

Having studied under the jazz titan Jerry Bergonzi – Kaylor brings his no frills attached, straight down the line jazz genius to Welcome Home Sexy for a post Valentine’s Day jazz love in. Having performed with artists as diverse as Bob Mintzer, Joanna McGregor, Roy Wood (ELO, Wizard, The Move) & Marissa Price (Prince & Chaka Khan) Kaylor ploughs a musical furrow at once ancient & modern. He is more than loved up by the talents of Jamil Sherrif on the ivories - who regularly performs with the likes of Zoltan Dekany & Pat McCarthy in his acclaimed octet; Russ Pearson on Upright Bass who finds time to perform with the likes of Soweto Kinch, Joanna McGregor, & the Grand Union Orchestra as well as producing commissions for the BBC & Ch4 & finally Dave Walsh on Kit -a man equally at home playing jazz, Latin, drum 'n' bass or rock & who has bashed his pig skins with the likes of John Surman, Stan Sulzman, Jim Mullen amongst other. Lovely music, lovely guys, lovely groove. Lovely.

Fri 15 Feb - 8.30pm @ The New Beehive Inn, 171 Westgate, Bradford

Caught you at Skipton's premier nitespot yesterday. Great gig guys, you're going to be huge. You need a bigger venue or a shorter bass player next time, his head touches the ceiling!
