I'll be leading my newly formed septet, which features the legendary Peter King, Jean Toussaint (Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers) and my man Trevor Mires. And of course the band wouldn't be complete without regular band members Alex Davis (double bass), Dave Hamblett (drums) and Reuben James (piano).
We'll be kicking off the start of seven dates where we'll be performing 'Running With The Flame', original jazz arrangements inspired by the London 2012 Olympics and traditional folk songs from around the world including Scarborough Fair, made famous by Simon & Garfunkel. I have to say...I'm EXCITED.
