 Gianni
Boscarino - Piano
Influenced by
Brad Mehldau, Joshua Redman, Return to
Forever, Hermeto Pascoal, early Pat Metheny, early Keith Jarrett, Herbie
Hancock, Joyce, Wayne Shorter, Oam Trio, Bill Evans.
A
new kid on the block, Gianni has a great sense of rhythm and
timing and is also an accomplished composer with his own group.
(The Gianni Quartet). Gianni is currently in his second year of
the highly regarded Jazz degree course at Middlesex University.
This is a great opportunity to witness and marvel at Gianni's
already prodigious yet youthful talent at close quarters, Fine
inventive and percussive attack and worthy of comparison with
his fellow jazz pianist Gwilym Simcock for invention - he is
destined for a magnificent future in Jazz - Jazz Eddie

Bastin:bass, Vasilis Sarikis: Drums
 Chris
Goodsell - Electric Bass
Unassuming he may be but
Chris is the backbone to the quartet with his impeccable timing and inventive
bass lines. Chris also plays classical double bass with a couple of North London
orchestras. He is the ‘groove-merchant’.
Quiet confidence,
strident and sympathetic bass lines - Jazz Eddie

There are many drummers but
there is only one Lester Bennett.
Lester is a highly experienced player who as well as being a master of the jazz
kit is percussionist with highly acclaimed early music group Mediva, appearing

Lester is a joy to watch and his
drumming technique is impeccable, Fine unobtrusive drumming and well structured solos -
