Joining Jeremy and the Pocket Jazz Orchestra will be special guest creative, compelling songwriter and performer Zoe Gilby (Parliamentary Jazz Vocalist of the year 2019). Establishing critical acclaim with her adventurous approach and influences from jazz and contemporary composers from Kate Bush to Thelonious Monk. A vast array of powerful and diverse projects with a fascinating lyrical content.

This distinguished ensemble brings together some of the North East’s finest jazz musicians including Paul Donnelly on guitar, Mark Toomey on alto saxophone, Ken Marley on bass and Paul Smith on drums.

Together with guests they present various jazz standards, Latin and foot-tapping swing music with a repertoire incorporating a mixture of lyrical melodies and rich harmonies from the great American songbook to the full passion and fire associated with the bebop idiom.
