Sounds of J & K
Mark Nightingale & Alistair White

This all-star group celebrates the unmistakable happy, swinging sounds of the great JJ Johnson and Kai Winding quintet. Fronted by two of the major forces in British jazz trombone playing, namely Mark Nightingale and Alistair White.

Mark's outstanding talent became widely recognised when he won the coveted Don Lusher Award at the age of fifteen. At sixteen he was already lead in NYJO and since graduating from Trinity College of Music has not only flourished as one of the busiest session-musicians, but also become highly respected and sought after internationally.
Alistair White is also a recipient of the prestigious Don Lusher Award and considered to be this Country's next important trombone voice. Alistair is in demand as a sideman, in Big Bands, with pop bands, and as part of the orchestra for TV and west end shows.
Dave Newton (piano) is a much sought after pianist and has been voted best Jazz Pianist in the British Jazz awards seven times and was made a Fellow of Leeds College of Music in 2003.
Arnie Somogyi (bass) is one of the UK's outstanding bass talents - musician, bandleader, composer, presenter, and music lecturer - and is much in demand among leading US & European musicians.
Clark Tracey (drums) naturally has jazz in his blood. He is a composer, arranger, educator, band leader and of course one of the UK's best drummers. He has recorded on over 90 albums and played in approximately 50 countries.
