Tuesday, January 6th
The January gig features the Frank Griffith Quintet which is packed with top musicians who will have your feet tapping. The band features Frank on sax/clarinet. Griffith’s music has been performed and recorded by a wide range of soloists and ensembles and most recently he has collaborated with strings including the Brodowski, Maggini and Bowfiddle string quartets. He is also the founder and curator of the annual String Quartet Festival at London’s leading jazz club, Pizza Express in Soho. Frank has played, arranged for and recorded with the likes of Ron Carter, Lionel Hampton, Mel Torme, Norma Winstone, Kenny Wheeler Sir John Dankworth and Dame Cleo Laine. He  has also recorded three CDs for the Hepjazz label (www.hepjazz.com) as well as two more for Hep as a saxophonist, arranger and music director for vocalist, Tina May.

Also in the band is Bruce Adams, one of the UK’s top trumpeters. Bruce’s career has taken many turns since he started playing trumpet in 1962. From playing small group gigs and cabarets around Glasgow through winning Opportunity Knocks in 1965, Expo 67 in Montreal and entertaining troops in Aden the same year with Tony Hancock, Bruce followed a path that has taken him through the Scottish Radio Orchestra, Blackpool Summer Seasons and Cruise Liners. Bruce always tried to keep his Jazz to the fore, playing with people like Benny Carter, Al  Cohn, Buddy Tate, Al Grey, Dick Hyman, Ray Bryant, Major Holley and Howard Alden. His award winning partnership with Alan Barnes has been in existence for 22 years. Bruce also had a quartet with guitarist Dave Cliff for several years.


Also featured are Nick Weldon (piano), Dave Olney (bass) and Les Cirkel (drums). 
All tickets are £10 or £8 in advance. This should be a great night of swinging jazz.

What’s Cookin’ at Kaff
Kaff prides itself on utilising local resources and the influences of its local community. So when Chef Myers from New Orleans appeared on the scene, not only did he transform the food we were serving with his amazing and original Louisiana influences, but he also embraced our local relationships with the likes of Me’ Julie to Old Mrs Taylor’s Roti’s and Uncle Andrew’s Famous Chocolate Brownies. It’s good ol’ Americana cookin’ but when you have the world on your doorstep you may as well use it!
