Party: Steve Waterman

Trumpeter par excellence Steve leads a group of his jazz peers for this brilliant gig.

Steve Waterman trumpet, Anthony Kerr vibes, Alec Dankworth bass, Dave Barry drums

This quartet comprises top of the tree musicians, who have appeared at Fleece Jazz countless times, in various popular groups. They performed with Steve on his trio/quintet “Buddy Bolden Blew It!” recording, of which the Guardian’s John Fordham writes “the leader's repertoire of early-jazz growls and note-shakes are joined by impish resolutions in the manner of Wynton Marsalis”.

Steve is an established educator and composer. He runs several of his own bands, and is a sought after Trumpeter for groups of all sizes, including ones led by Alan Barns, Don Weller, Carla Bley and Michael Garrick

He brings with him a wonderful trio: Anthony Kerr is a vibraphone master, Alec Dankworth is among the great bassists, and Dave Barry is a hugely sought after percussionist.
