Celebrating the distinctive sound of the classic George Shearing Quintet - one of the most popular jazz artists through the 1940s-60s. Top UK line-up led by pianist Nick Tomalin dedicated to performing the music of the great George Shearing.

The show will celebrate the distinctive sound of the classic Shearing Quintet as well as highlighting the work of this influential and important British pianist, whose fame came to the fore when he settled in the US in the late 40s. The repertoire includes Shearing's best known compositions including 'Lullaby of Birdland' and 'September in the Rain' but also features some of Shearing's slightly more unfamiliar tunes and arrangements.

Over the last twenty years Nick Tomalin has become a mainstay of the London jazz scene, and works regularly with some of the country's leading jazz musicians including Jim Mullen, Mark Lockheart, Stan Sulzman and Alan Barnes amongst many others.
