Ray is a jazz musician who has been influenced by Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and many more. He started playing piano at 7, cornet at 8 and then trumpet at 16, where he studied at Peter Symonds' college, Winchester. He later studied music at Kingston University. He studied trumpet with Ray Allen (R.A.M) for two years and Colin Clague (principal trumpet English National Opera) and later took up jazz piano and jazz trumpet. Ray brings his fantastic Quartet to The Yardbird for a special evening of jazz music.
Every Thursday night expect the slinkiest live jazz with notes of gospel, latin, blues and funk from the finest local, national and international artists performing two sets with occasional impromptu jazz jams into the early hours and old school souljazz DJ sets from Yardbird owner, Ollie Lloyd filling the gaps.
Doors: 8pm till 2am. Free entry.
