Two internationally respected jazz guitarists come together in this special night of music. Libor and Nigel met in 2019 and got on like a house on fire on a short tour of the UK. It’s time for the reunion!
Their shared love of soulful, grooving straight ahead jazz will make for a fabulous night of mellifluous improvisation. Expect works from the great guitarists of yesteryear, as well as selections from the American songbook. Tonight they time up with the astonishing double bass player Geoff Gascoyne (Jamie Cullum, Michel Legrand and just about anyone who’s anyone!)
