Not previously familiar with veteran saxman Renato D'A. but who couldn't warm to such a charming guy with a lovely full tone to his playing, not to mention the bonus of impeccable vocals on a couple of numbers ? Nice selection of standards, including Autumn Leaves (complete with the Cannonball Adderley intro), Jobim's Corcovado, Weaver of Dreams, Body and Soul, If I Should Lose You, Take The A Train and the more scarcely covered Portrait of Jenny. Lovely stuff on a horribly wet evening. Hardly any need to add that there was the guaranteed quality support from Terry Collie and Nick Lenner-Webster on bass.

Review of Jazz on the Plaza - Renato D'Aiello

Asking whether I would recommend a Dave O'Higgins gig is like asking whether I would like to receive a million pounds without any strings attached, so there's not really much to say. One of the foremost tenorists on the UK scene for many years now, with a lovely tone, great improvisational imagination and a thoroughly lovely, approachable bloke. Impeccable choice of numbers, including All Or Nothing At All, (Toots Thielemann's) Bluesette, (Henry Mancini's) Days Of Wine and Roses, Like Someone In Love, (The Duke's) In A Sentimental Mood, a couple of T. Monks (Epistrophy and Blue Monk) and slightly leftfield choices in (Billy Strayhorn's) Chelsea Bridge and (Wayne Shorter's) JuJu. Great stuff, and ably supported by T. Collie Esq on the Fazioli piano and diminutive but percussively dynamic Esther Ng on bass. Not surprisingly a number of punters snapped up Dave's latest cd !

Review of Dave O'Higgins - Jazz on the Plaza

A lovely "local" experience.  Just such a pity that the venue is always "overbooked", so we are so crammed together!  But all jazz lovers, hence  the "Friendly" rating for atmosphere!

I must confess that I wasn't previously aware of Sam Walker's music, but what a revelation. Fantastic technique, lovely fruity tone and excellent choice of standards (plus one original as a loosener to start). As I said to him on the way out, it was like applying John Coltrane's legendary "sheets of sound" to the Great American Songbook - what a great combination. Made even better by the inclusion of some of my favourites, eg. Willow Weep For Me, A Night In Tunisia (or Tooneesia as the Yanks say), Monk's Well You Needn't and two Duke classics: In A Sentimental Mood and Take The A Train. Terry C. often quotes the latter in his solos, so it was nice that he got to play the whole tune ! Great support from him and the ever-reliable and impressive Mark Rose on bass. Why isn't Sam more widely known, or perhaps he is and I need to get out more ?!

Review of Jazz on the Plaza - Sam Walker

This is a lovely way to enjoy a genteel evening of high quality Jazz. The grand piano is sublime and played by the outstanding pianist Terence Collie with an eclectic range of equally talented
guests... I truly recommend this discreet night out

Nice crowd, intimate friendly venue, great musicians, fazioli piano and Japanese dishes.

Review of Freddie Gavita - Jazz on the Plaza

Absolutely first class music. Freddie is a terrific trumpet player and he obviously enjoyed himself playing in this setting. The venue is cramped but the atmosphere is great. We thoroughly enjoyed it
