NIGEL PRICE ORGAN TRIO

For the opening night of the new season, we're extremely keen to welcome back our good friend and Epsom virtuoso himself Nigel Price who's bringing along, for the first time, his long-standing organ trio with Joel Barford on drums and Ross Stanley working the Hammond organ. Of course, Nigel needs no introduction for our Epsom audience, though it's perhaps worth repeating a few career highs such as supporting Gladys Knight at the Royal Albert Hall; playing over the years with a constellation of top musicians as diverse as Van Morrison, David Axelrod, Alan Barnes and James Taylor; winning awards; appearing on more than 50 albums and holding down residencies at Ronnie Scott's where he's played an absurd number of times running into the several hundred (it's doubtful anyone has managed to keep count at this stage, possibly not even Nigel). 

Line-up:

Nigel Price - guitar

Ross Stanley - organ

Joel Barford - drums

7:30pm, 22 October 2026, Comrades Club, Epsom

Riketté Genesis

At Epsom Jazz Club, we're quite selective when it comes to vocalists but every so often we find a singer worth getting excited about and do not hesitate to invite down - cue Riketté Genesis, a London-based jazz vocalist with a very soulful tone, a swinging energy and a cabaret theatricality whose quality of voice recalls some of her jazz diva inspirations like Sarah Vaughan, Anita O’Day and Billie Holiday. Her live credits include already Ronnie Scott’s, the Jazz Café and the immersive jazz theatre production 58th Street, and you might be interested to hear that alongside her singing career, Riketté is a reggae DJ and broadcaster who hosts her monthly "Roots Reggae with Riketté" show on Voices Radio. Riketté will be joined on the night by a trumpeter, bassist and drummer (line-up to be confirmed).

Andy Davies and Laurence Cottle Quartet 

As well as welcoming back award-winning Welsh trumpeter, composer, writer, comedian and actor Andy Davies, we are very excited to host for the first time a giant of the bass guitar to Epsom, Laurence Cottle. A simple list of bandmates and collaborators will show the calibre of the man: in addition to leading his own Laurence Cottle Big Band, he has played in Jim Mullen's quartet and in the Alan Parsons Project, and recorded with Mornington Lockett, Tim Garland, Django Bates, Gerard Presencer and John Graham. Then in the rock and pop world, he's played with Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Mike Oldfield and Bill Bruford, and wrote and played all the bass parts on the Black Sabbath album "Headless Cross". Andy needs less introduction, but we must briefly recap some performance and recording credits with the likes of Ian Shaw, Tony Kofi, Guy Barker's big band, the Ronnie Scott’s All Stars and Nigel Kennedy. Andy and Laurence are joined by Ross Stanley and Joel Barford on piano and drums.

Line-up:

Andy Davies - trumpet

Laurence Cottle - bass guitar

Ross Stanley - piano

Joel Barford - drums
