SUMMARY:Jazz Ben Holder Trio
DESCRIPTION:BEN HOLDER TRIO\nTHURSDAY 17TH DECEMBER 2026\n\nBen Holder [36] is the most acclaimed and exciting jazz violinist in the UK. His classical studies began at the age of six and were complemented by training at the Birmingham Conservatoire. An introduction to jazz came in his early teens – classic masters such as Benny Goodman\, Oscar Peterson and Stephane Grappelli – and lead Ben to truly find his place as a musician. \nBen possesses an innate sense of swing rhythm (something which often eludes classical players)\, breathtaking technical ability and true showmanship on stage. He offers flawless musicianship\, heaps of energy and personality and a visible passion for his craft. \nBen’s various awards bear testimony to these abilities. Often playing across the UK\, Europe and further afield\, he is a first-call jazz violinist for many of the country’s top venues\, line-ups and studios. \nThe Ben Holder Trio is a stellar line-up of incredible musicians\, blending an energetic mix of traditional jazz and Gypsy Swing with Ben’s own infectious originals\, which hark back to the fun and swing of the 1920s and 1930s.  \nThe group is one of the most exciting bands to emerge in recent years. Led by the fiery enthusiasm of Ben on extraordinary violin\, the trio is strengthened by the phenomenal musicians on guitar and double bass. The Ben Holder Trio masterfully mix old jazz favourites and upbeat swingers with some more recent material and leave audiences up and down the country shouting for more. \nExpect foot-tapping standards and festive frolics as you’ve never experienced before! \n=========================================================== \n\nThe box office is able to take bookings for one gig at a time\, but do make a note of the dates which are of interest to you during our forthcoming season so that you can make your bookings at the appropriate time. \n\n\n\nIf possible\, make your requests via email\, but don’t forget to give us a little bit of notice if you know that you are going to be unable to attend.  We appreciate that there will always be unavoidable\, unforeseen circumstances\, but clearly we want to make places available and fill all possible seats\, particularly for gigs in high demand. \n\n\n\nWe are not a profit making organisation\, but we do want to keep breaking even in order to keep music live. \n\n\n\nBooking Enquiries  Call Keith on 07990 703 787\nor email jazz@davenham.co\n\n\n\nPlease do not assume that your places are confirmed unless you have had a response from J@D and\, if you have not\, then contact us again \n\n\n\nDoors & Bar 7.30pm Gigs start @ 8pm\n   Tickets £15\n\n\n\nFrom JAZZ@DAVENHAM TEAM\nGREAT GIGS\nFABULOUS BANDS\nClick to see the full Jazz Programme

SUMMARY:Jazz Florian Arbenz Convergence Project
DESCRIPTION:FLORIAN ARBENZ CONVERGENCE PROJECT\nTHURSDAY 29TH APRIL 2027\n\nInspired in part by the great drummer/bandleaders like Art Blakey\, Max Roach and Peter Erskine\, Florian set up the Convergence project to perform the hard-swinging joy-filled jazz that helped us fall in love with this genre. \nFor 2025 & 2026\, they will present a brand-new CD – Moon – featuring the incredible Cuban Vistel brothers\, Maikel & Jorge – and they will be touring extensively from their combined bases in Switzerland and Spain. \nFlorian Arbenz sees jazz not as a fixed style but as a framework to adapt and reshape. On Moon\, that means using the drums to set space and colour for strong musical voices to connect. The result is direct\, modern jazz that respects its roots while speaking today’s language.  \nThis will be a Truly International Performance with world class Jazz musicians in the line up. \nThe Line Up \nJorge Vistel: trumpet \nMaikel Vistel: sax \nIvo Neame: piano \nRafael Jerjen: bass \nFlorian Arbenz:drums \n=========================================================== \n\nThe box office is able to take bookings for one gig at a time\, but do make a note of the dates which are of interest to you during our forthcoming season so that you can make your bookings at the appropriate time. \n\n\n\nIf possible\, make your requests via email\, but don’t forget to give us a little bit of notice if you know that you are going to be unable to attend.  We appreciate that there will always be unavoidable\, unforeseen circumstances\, but clearly we want to make places available and fill all possible seats\, particularly for gigs in high demand. \n\n\n\nWe are not a profit making organisation\, but we do want to keep breaking even in order to keep music live. \n\n\n\nBooking Enquiries  Call Keith on 07990 703 787\nor email jazz@davenham.co\n\n\n\nPlease do not assume that your places are confirmed unless you have had a response from J@D and\, if you have not\, then contact us again \n\n\n\nDoors & Bar 7.30pm Gigs start @ 8pm\n   Tickets £15\n\n\n\nFrom JAZZ@DAVENHAM TEAM\nGREAT GIGS\nFABULOUS BANDS\nClick to see the full Jazz Programme
