Eddie Gripper Ft. Alex Clarke – presented by North Devon Jazz Club

GRIPPING JAZZ AT THE BEAVER

Award-winning saxophonist Alex Clarke joins up-and-coming pianist Eddie Gripper with his trio at North Devon Jazz in The Beaver on 3 November.

Alex was winner at the age of twenty of the Rising Star category in the British Jazz Awards and has since pursued a career working with top musicians, with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, Simon Spillett’s Big Band and the Ronnie Scott Jazz Orchestra as well as touring with her own quartet.

Pianist Eddie Gripper has received glowing reviews for his playing and compositions. He came to prominence with his superb album Home which was praised for its thoughtful and melodic compositions. To quote the Jazzwise review ‘In its maturity of approach and deftness of execution Home is a significant achievement by any standards.’

The gig starts at 8:30pm and is hosted by the North Devon Jazz Club. Thank you NDJC. There is no entrance fee. A collection will be taken for the band. For a meal booking please phone The Beaver on 01237 474822
