Mixing excellent originals by pianist Simon James and saxophonist/flautist Sarah McDonagh with a few well known standards - the quartet demonstrated their remarkable individual skills with a rock solid unity of purpose. Percussionist Keith Marshall and bassist James Rintoul, a formidable rhythm section, also shone on some inventive solos. The Simon James Quartet is certainly at the forefront of contemporary jazz ensembles in Cornwall, offering a special evening of accessible and rewarding jazz.” Read more

We had traditional carols and Christmas tunes, some classical pieces as well as some bluesy numbers - all delivered with flawless precision. I loved the impro inserts when you segued from one piece to the next. The attitude of performers is so important on occasions like ours, and you got it just right - friendly and accommodating, just as happy to be in the background as you were to be up front. You certainly added that extra ingredient that made the whole lunch such a success. Thanks once again, Peter Warburton Commodore Lee-on-the-Solent Sailing Club” Read more
