The Monthly Jazz Jam Session 

Hosted by tenor sax man, Nick Gould. It’s Festival month in Edinburgh….so we never really know who’s in town and who might drop in for a play. What’s more, there’s many local musicians who come in to make this one of the hottest jam sessions around…and it’s great fun!!

9th August | 7pm-9:15pm

Midas and the Masters of Funk

Yes, the elegantly ‘suited and booted’ Mr David Midas – erstwhile champion of funky guitar – takes us on a journey onboard the funky/jazz/soul train this evening – a delightful showcase of all that is good about tight rhythms and incredible musicianship. He’ll have a terrific band with him including the dazzlingly brilliance of Alexander McNamee on piano.

16th August | 7pm-9:15pm

Katriona Taylor and her Trio

A old friend of Whighams and one of London’s top jazz voices, Katriona is back in town with a brand-new show of great swinging jazz that delves into the Great American Songbook as well as many other great tunes. Katriona was once the opening act for the great George Benson when he toured Portugal, so her pedigree is exceptional. Tonight’s she is joined by David Patrick (piano), Paul Trippett (electric bass) and Kevin Dorrian (drums)

Expect some delightfully, soulful, and engaging jazz this evening from ​Dot, together with Ed Kelly (double bass) and Keith Haldane (drums)
