March Jazz Club

March’s Jazz club will feature the fabulous Karen Sharp Quartet!

Karen Sharp – Saxes

Colin Oxley – Guitar

Simon Thorpe – Bass

Steve Brown – Drums

Multi-award winning saxophonist Karen Sharp is joined by two of the UK’s premier jazz artists,

Colin Oxley and Simon Thorpe. Their music reflects a shared love of creativity, interplay and group

improvisation with a deep respect for the jazz tradition demonstrated with exquisite tunes by the

likes of Steve Swallow, Jim Hall, Bill Evans, Warne Marsh and Simon Thorpe.

In 2018 Karen, Simon and Colin recorded their first album together, ‘Another Place’. They have

been performing regularly ever since both as a trio and with augmented ensembles, exploring new

and exciting routes through jazz material from the past and present. With their second album due

for imminent release the trio are busy performing, forming new musical memories and solidifying

their unique, ensemble sound.
