“Tim Collinson
impressed me with his stylish and passionate playing – check him out!”
– Mitch Hiller
Jazz Eddie - Tim has a nice melodic and
authoritative approach to his jazz improvisations and is supported
sympathetically by delicate piano runs from Gianni Boscarino, and superbly
paced by this extremely talented rhythm section. He also plays very
proficient guitar.
 Gianni
Boscarino - Piano
Influenced by
Brad Mehldau, Joshua Redman, Return to
Forever, Hermeto Pascoal, early Pat Metheny, early Keith Jarrett, Herbie
Hancock, Joyce, Wayne Shorter, Oam Trio, Bill Evans.
A
new kid on the block, Gianni has a great sense of rhythm and
timing and is also an accomplished composer with his own group.
(The Gianni Quartet). Gianni is currently in his second year of
the highly regarded Jazz degree course at Middlesex University.
This is a great opportunity to witness and marvel at Gianni's
already prodigious yet youthful talent at close quarters, Fine
inventive and percussive attack and worthy of comparison with
his fellow jazz pianist Gwilym Simcock for invention - he is
destined for a magnificent future in Jazz - Jazz Eddie
Gianni's own Quartet features
Gianni Boscarino: Piano, Chris Williams: Alto sax, Ben
Bastin, bass, Vasilis Sarikis: Drums
 Chris
Goodsell - Electric Bass
Unassuming he may be but
Chris is the backbone to the quartet with his impeccable timing and inventive
bass lines. Chris also plays classical double bass with a couple of North London
orchestras. He is the ‘groove-merchant’.
Quiet confidence,
strident and sympathetic bass lines - Jazz Eddie
 Lester Bennett - Drums
There are many drummers but
there is only one Lester Bennett.
Lester is a highly experienced player who as well as being a master of the jazz
kit is percussionist with highly acclaimed early music group Mediva, appearing
regularly on Radio 3, The English Music Festival circuit and the Purcell Room.”
Lester is a joy to watch and his
drumming technique is impeccable, Fine unobtrusive percussion and well structured solos -
a true professional - Jazz Eddie

LIVE JAZZ NEEDS YOUR
HELP TO SURVIVE …………At
any time of year things are difficult for Jazz, so even if you can’t make it
yourself we really do appreciate it if you can encourage friends and colleagues
to come along. If you would like to download a Poster to put out in your work
place that would be a terrific help and of course you can always send people to
this extensive web site. Remember that we work only for the Jazz Musicians
to give them a platform for their talents. We are a not for profit
organisation but as mere enthusiasts we cannot accumulate losses either.
Many Thanks keep networking - Jazz Eddie.
 Musicians and Deputies
The line-ups as listed are correct at the time of Publication and are those
given to us by the leader of the group, and information is as accurate as we can
make it. With the Music business being what it is, inevitable changes happen,
and we amend the listings except for those that happen on the night. We have
been very fortunate, as the substitutions made by the groups have often been
surprise upgrades. Nevertheless, the situation is not one we can control due to
the fallibility of the ever sensitive musicians. Blessed as they are -
they are not invulnerable.
