Blues at The Jazz Bar

26/10/2025

For lovers of Blues and of The Jazz Bar, a double whammy of joy!

FRIDAY 31st Oct, 18:15. Tom Anderson plays Kenny Burrell.

This gig will be a real treat for blues enthusiasts.

🔹Premiering with their first performance, this new quintet unites leading musicians from Edinburgh and Glasgow, each with a wealth of experience performing across the UK, Europe, the USA, and South America. The lineup features Tom Anderson (guitar), John Burges (saxophone), Ed Kelly (bass), Malcom Herpich (drums), and José Rojas (congas).

Their sound is a laid-back fusion of jazz and blues, inspired by the cool sophistication of Kenny Burrell and Stanley Turrentine. For their debut, the ensemble will explore Burrell’s classic album Midnight Blue, along with a selection of other standards he performed — all delivered with warmth, swing, and subtle Latin inflections.

Aki is most excellent and I highly recommend this.

Heylo... We had a blast delivering the message of "Hendrix And Us" to at the weekend - so much so that we're going to do it aaallll again at The Jazz Bar on Wednesday the 11th of June. Come down and wave your freak flaaag high... HIGH! It's a 9.15pm show so we can all be tucked up with a cup of cocoa by midnight should it be desirable. Might not be tho, these shows sure get folks all riled up. Quite rightly so... Link in bio for tickets - get 'em before they disappear! 🔥
