‘The Guest Series’ at Matt and Phreds is an exciting new initiative designed to connect different jazz scenes from across the UK with Manchester, while showcasing the incredible talent of musicians from all over the country. Curated by Bim Williams, a familiar face on the Manchester jazz scene, the series aims to bring together some of the finest musicians from diverse backgrounds, creating a unique platform for collaboration and innovation. The series also celebrates the tradition of jazz virtuosos performing with house bands, with each night focused on playing standards and iconic pieces that have shaped this music.
This first performance features the exceptional Caroline Boaden, one of the most respected and experienced drummers on the UK scene. With a career that has seen her play alongside legends such as Jason Rebello, Eberhard Weber, Peter King, and Kenny Davern, Caroline brings a wealth of talent and experience to the stage. She will be joined by guitarist and host Bim Williams, renowned pianist Sam Davies, and rising star double bassist Lorenzo Morabito. Sam, originally from East London, brings his unique self-taught style and a rich background in jazz, while Lorenzo, an Italian double bassist based in London, has quickly become one of the most sought-after players on the British jazz scene.
Don’t miss this chance to experience an extraordinary night of world-class music, featuring timeless standards and the virtuosic interplay of a talented house band. The Guest Series at Matt and Phreds is not to be missed!
