Mike Denham's SpeakEasy with jazz clarinettist Trevor Whiting.

"September Songs" 

Mike Denham, at the grand piano, welcomes Trevor Whiting, a truly exceptional clarinet and saxophone player.  Trevor is first choice for a number of London-based jazz ensembles and plays with many top names in jazz.  Trevor and Mike have often performed together, they have a great rapport and a varied, engaging repertoire from Scott Joplin to Benny Goodman.  Tonight their programme will give at least a passing nod to the time of year!

Pianist Mike Denham is a regular visitor to the Arts Centre and draws a capacity audience. He performs at many festivals and venues around the UK, either playing solo or with his own Traditional bands. For those not familiar with Mike’s music, his piano playing ranges from the very earliest days of jazz with ragtime and early blues, through Fats Waller's "Stride" style to the 1950’s “Rock and Roll” heard with the likes of Chuck Berry and Fats Domino. He also includes his own renditions of many of the ever popular jazz standards from the “Great American Songbook”. Mike intersperses his playing with interesting and amusing anecdotes about the tunes and the people who wrote, played and sang them.

Performance starts at 7:30pm, doors from 6:30pm with bar available.
