On Monday the 15th we welcome to the stage local Hammond Organ player Jonny Henderson. Jonny will be appearing with his trio, sure to get the crowd moving with a thick soup of Funk, Blues and Jazz.
Previously on the Jazz Funk Soul committee, Jonny now plays professionally and has recently released his debut album 'Where Did I Leave My Keys?'
Several years running, Jonny has toured across Europe and North America with blues guitarist Matt Schofield. He also gigs regularly in local venues such as The Cori Tap.

James Morton has developed his unique voice through direct influences from funk, soul, jazz, gospel, latin and urban music. He has the ability to communicate to an audience through his saxophone, directly projecting deep emotion to the listener in a lyrical style. James has two key mentors in the form of Andy Shepperd and Pee Wee Ellis whom he continually works with on a variety of projects.
As well as recording on many Jazz albums, James appears on Pendulum's platinum selling Drum 'n' Bass album 'SLAM'. James has performed with Fred Wesley, Winton Marsailis, Billy Cobham, Jason Rubello, Abrham Wilson, Beth Rowley, Snowboy and Tomorrow's Warriors to name a few.
Influenced by funk, soul-jazz, soul and gospel, James's Quartet aim to eliminate the introspective and self indulgent elements that some "jazz" music can often adhere to with the intent to bring the music back to the people.
We hope you enjoy the show!
