Nat Steele Quartet: A Tribute To Milt Jackson

Freshly back from recording his latest record in New York (out March 22nd), the great UK vibraphonist Nat Steele brings his quartet to celebrate the music of Milt Jackson, featuring Rob Barron on piano, Mark Taylor (George Coleman, Monty Alexander) on drums and Jeremy Brown on bass. The band will play a selection of swinging standards, bebop tunes and hard-bop arrangements in celebration of Jackson’s centenary year, bringing the sound of a bygone era to a modern stage with boundless groove and excitement.

Nat has played with the cream of the crop of today’s jazz star artists, including multi award-winning Dave Newton, award winning Leon Green, Grammy winner Alan Broadbent, Julian Bliss, Allison Neale and Sara Dowling among many others. His last album won BBC Music Magazine album of the month, and garnered rave reviews in the music press.
