Renowned as one of Britain's top jazz trumpet players, Steve Waterman has recorded many critically acclaimed CDs under his own name as well as a number of CDs under the ECM label with John Surman's Brass Project and Carla Bley and has worked regularly on the British and European jazz scene with John Surman, Andy Sheppard, Tony Coe, Carla Bley, Don Weller and many others. He has won numerous jazz awards over the years, and was this year placed in the BBC British Jazz Awards once again. He is also very committed to Jazz education and is professor of Jazz Trumpet at Trinity College of Music in London and visiting Jazz Trumpet specialist at The Royal Northern College Of Music and The Welsh College Of Music And Drama.
For his performance at the Jazz Cafe, Steve is joined by Anthony Kerr, regarded by many as the most enchanting, original and exciting vibraphone player in the jazz idiom of today. For the last twenty years Anthony has been performing and recording with a huge variety of artists such as Georgie Fame, Jacqui Dankworth, the BBC Big Band, George Shearing, Marti Pellow, Patti Austin and Kathryn Williams as well as working as a session musician, and teaching at the Guildhall School of Music, The Royal Academy of Music and the Royal College of Music.
An outstanding evening for the start of the Autumn Season at the Jazz Cafe. Advance booking highly recommended!
"Waterman has a lovely, often plaintive sound, open or muted, and always plays throughout with a kind of calm assurance, his poise and control momentarily like that of Wynton Marsalis." - Peter Vacher, Jazzwise magazine
