Coming up
Coming up at North Devon Jazz Club in 2024:
NB Gigs at the North Devon Jazz Club are almost always on Mondays, starting at 8.30 unless otherwise stated. They take place at the Beaver Inn in Appledore. Entrance is free but there's a collection (please don't be mean - it helps pay the band). For more information, see the dedicated NDJC page.
For 2025 (so far):
23 June Steve Waterman with the Ralph Freeman Trio
Steve Waterman is one of the finest trumpeters and flugelhorn players on the UK and international scene.
Praised as ‘a delight to hear’ by Crescendo Magazine Steve has played and recorded with such jazz greats as Carla Bley, Andy Sheppard and John Surman and also with the finest Cuban musicians. He is Professor of Jazz Trumpet at Trinity College of Music and an active educator at other institutions and he is a distinguished composer for small and large ensembles.
7 July B.D. Lenz Trio
Mix the sophistication of jazz, the grit of blues and the grooves of funk and soul and you have the recipe for the music of American jazz guitarist B.D. Lenz who will bring his dynamic trio to North Devon Jazz Club at The Beaver, Appledore on Monday, 7th July.
B.D. has played guitar since his early teens, he is a graduate of the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles and has studied with such masters as Mike Stern, Vic Juris and Charlie Banacos along the way. Lenz has released 13 highly-acclaimed recordings as a leader and his music has been featured in hundreds of TV shows globally including Breaking Bad, Catfish and Young Sheldon.
To quote All About Jazz: ‘Lenz's music portrays his deep attachment to groove and rhythm as well as an uncanny ability to craft interesting and memorable melodies...’.
