Tribute to "Ella to Louis"
|
8 pm
Digby Fairweather, Craig Milverton and Maggie Reeday
Digby became a fulltime jazzman in l977 after twelve years as a qualified librarian in Southend-on-Sea. From l973 he worked his way up as a part-timer through established bands including Hugh Rainey, Eggy Ley, Eric Silk, Keith Nichols, Ron Russell and Lennie Hastings and deputized regularly for Alex Welsh, recording his first album with Welsh's band in l974.
Craig is very much in demand as a solo pianist, with his virtuoso ability and comprehensive knowledge of the entire jazz spectrum. He is much sought after as a skilled accompanist to such star vocalists Maggie Reeday, Stacey Kent and Tina May. His trios are regularly required to back visiting American soloists at festivals and venues across the country including Scott Hamilton. Few British pianists have Craig's thorough knowledge and grasp of jazz styles. His love of the music shines through and he is a natural at whatever he plays.
