Damon Brown performed in our very first Jazz Steps season, 25 years ago. – with this return being a deliberate nod to our anniversary! He’s performed with his own groups and with the band Killer Shrimp back in 2010. His no-nonsense trumpet style wins him many fans. We tracked him down to Seoul, South Korea, and invited him over for a rare UK appearance, backed by a superb trio.

The Edison Herbert Trio have a reputation for their engaging grooves, sensitive ballads and foot tapping numbers that mix the familiar with the new in a refreshing way. Edison is a sensitive and melodic guitarist and his trio bring excitement, verve and vitality to everything they play. He is revisiting some ‘My Favourite Tunes’ that include some stand-out jazz standards.

Matthew has been performing on pipe and electronic organs since 1994, making his solo debut in Hadlow Down in East Sussex.  Following completing a degree in Music and Education at The University of Reading, he combined a teaching and performing career, before turning full-time to music in 2005.

His concert programmes – irrespective of the type of instrument – have a diverse range of music from classical to contemporary.  He believes that the “King of Instruments” is capable of playing anything, and that the instrument can reach-out to a wider audience, not just “organ enthusiasts”.
