John Etheridge Described
by Pat Metheny as “one of the best guitarists in the world,” John
Etheridge’s eclectic approach to music is characterised by key
associations with Stephane Grappelli and Soft Machine. Noted by The Observer
as “the best young violinist in jazz today” Christian Garrick has
revitalised jazz violin playing for the 21st century. Like Etheridge,
he has been touched by the iconic and vibrant Grapelli, whilst forging
his own individual style. Together they revisit gypsy jazz of the great
French tradition, in celebration of ‘Miró, Calder, Giacometti, Braque:
Aimé Maeght and His Artists’ exhibition.

This is a free event but
spaces are limited. Please arrive early and collect your free ticket

Part of the London Jazz Festival in association with BBC Radio 3.

Some of the most cutting edge contemporary jazz is set to be performed
during the Canary Wharf Jazz Festival, which aims to provide a platform
for the most promising up and coming musicians around. The players that
you see today at the jazz festival could be the rising stars of
tomorrow, who will be the regulars on the jazz scene in the future.

Eleven bands, eleven concerts and an entire afternoon of jazz to end the festival on Sunday 10th August, there will be no better venue in London to hear brilliant, enthusiastic, talented and cool jazz music this weekend. With influences from soul, hip hop, gospel and just good old swing jazz, you can be sure to enjoy this celebration of jazz to its fullest.

Come and join in one of the greatest British traditions, beer drinking, at Earls Court in London.
