Martin Shaw is one of the top jazz trumpet soloists in the country. He plays in an extraordinary range of settings, from big band to quartet, cutting edge jazz to contemporary pop and funk. He has worked with most of the leading jazz artists of the last 40 years including Cleo Laine, Sir John Dankworth, Pete King, and Tim Garland. His big band work includes the BBC Big Band and the Michel Legrand Jazz Orchestra.
Along with session and TV work Martin still finds time to perform with classical ensembles and in West End shows. Martin has recorded, performed live and toured extensively with various pop artists including Sting, Jamiroquai, Natalie Cole, Paul Young and the Brand New Heavies. |
Recently graduated from the Royal Academy of Music, and noted for his beautiful sound and lyrical playing, saxophonist Jonny Ford has performed on many occasions at Bracknell Jazz since his teens, often alongside his school friend the multi-talented Ted Hayes on drums. |
