Our recent recommendations for The Bristol Fringe

Superlative hard-bop ft. Ronnie Scott’s veteran in-house drummer Spike Wells totally reinvigorated in a trio spanning three generations. And hey, they can really wail - sailing through a repertoire of Monk, Ellington, Lee Morgan and Stone-Lonergan’s fresh compositions. Spellbinding stuff from Bristol’s House of Jazz (aka the Fringe). Riley Stone-Lonergan, Spike Wells, Eddie Myer

Rare deep listening treat for Blue Note heads in celebration of one of jazz’s great tenors, Joe Henderson. A high quality playback session of his fourth hard bop firecracker In’n’Out leads into a thrilling live re-interpretation of the disc by the Fringe in the Round Allstars. Get those feet tapping! Bristol's only circular jazz and improvisation night!
