John Hallam  
Alan Barnes & John Hallam with the Dave Newton Trio

John Hallam, who makes a first time appearance at the club, has over the last few years played many times together with Alan at other jazz venues and festivals. In December 2006 John picked a varied selection of numbers, Alan did some arrangements and they went into the recording studio with the rhythm section of Dave Newton, Simon Thorpe and Bobby Worth. Selected tracks from the resulting CD Sideways, released on Alan’s respected Woodville label, will be performed by the band. John Hallam, an established name in the North West of England, spent 21 years with the Smoky City Jazz Band, before leaving in 1989 to work on a freelance basis. Whenever Alan and John play together, they have a mutual respect for each other’s musical input, the result is always fresh and an enjoyable experience for everyone.

John Law  
John Law’s Art of Sound

John Law turned to jazz in 1986, having started his career as a classical pianist, during which time he came into contact with the legendary Alfred Brendel. John has worked and recorded with Louis Moholo, Evan Parker, Tim Garland and Andy Sheppard. His current trio, formed in 2005, is recognised as one of the UK’s most creative small ensembles. Art of Sound is taken from the name of the Italian studio Artesuono, where they have already recorded two critically acclaimed albums. Renowned for incredibly wide ranging dynamics, the trio covers the entire spectrum, from poised romantic ballads, to rock-sounding anthems, with plenty of jazz and rhythm grooves. Sam Burgess is well known for his work with Gwyneth Herbert and as a member of Tom Cawley’s Curios. Asaf Sirkis, making his second appearance of the month, completes the line-up.
