Sit back and enjoy the distinctively funky soul sounds of one of the greatest jazz pianist and composer Horace Silver, from an all-star quintet featuring some of the UK's top jazz musicians!

Bring along a delicious picnic or dig-in to one of our stone-baked pizzas, complete with a complimentary glass of Shakespearean Cuvée 2019 vintage on arrival.

The Music  

Featuring award-winning UK jazz trumpeter Steve Waterman and Clare Hirst, a UK saxophonist with a distinguished career in pop and jazz music, along with the fantastic rhythm section of composer and pianist Andrea Vicari, Guildford Jazz founder Marianne Windham on bass, and Matt Fishwick on drums.

The Horace Silver Project promise to win you over with their all-action and swinging tribute to a founding father of soulful hard bop, including favourites from his enduring Blue Note recordings such as The Preacher, Song for my Father and Sister Sadie. Music to tap your feet to.

"How could anyone resist the powerful rhythmic drive of five virtuoso musicians at the top of their form playing music drenched with an intoxicating blend of bebop, blues, funky soul and gospel" – ***** Jazz in Reading
