In his home town of Sao Paulo, Mario Bakuna studied with prominent musicians including Roberto Bomilcar, the pianist who played with Frank Sinatra during his visit to Brazil, and between touring extensively, Mario has recorded two albums: 'Where Rio de Janeiro Meets Bahia' and 'Brazilian Landscapes'. Expect a rich night of Afro-Brazilian jazz, samba, bossa nova and post-bossa nova.

Matt Holborn Quartet
Join Matt Holborn's quartet in their celebration of jazz violin pioneer Stuff Smith with selections from Smith's repertoire and new music inspired by his legacy. While less famous now than Stephane Grapelli, Stuff Smith was one of the foremost violinists of the swing era. Matt Holborn is one of the leading jazz violinists in the UK, being a founding member of the London Django Collective who has played in musical comedian Bill Bailey's touring band and written the book Enclosure Studies for Jazz Violin. Matt will be very welcome back to the club, having played for us back in 2022 when the London Django Collective came to Epsom.
Line-up:
Matt Holborn - violin
Fraser Urquhart - piano
Simon Read - bass
Joe Dessauer - drums
It's worth noting that Epsom Jazz Club has been launched as a not-for-profit community project, with the sole ambition of bringing Nationally and Internationally renowned Jazz Musicians to venues in the Borough of Epsom and Ewell, Surrey.
Other than our nominal promotional and venue/equipment hire expenses, all the ticket revenues go directly to the professional musicians.
It is never intended that Epsom Jazz Club be a private entity or profit-making. In fact, we are a subsidary of Epsom Music (Registered Charity No. 1197449).
Should ticket revenues exceed event expenses, we seek to either make improvements to our concert evenings or introduce some discounts for the young.
Be the first to know about future gigs - send us your email via the contact page for our newsletter.
