Chris Cobbson’s History of Jazz Guitar - Jazz Nights @ Frederick's

About

History of Jazz Guitar

From Dixie-Land to Swing, the history of Jazz Guitar is presented by multi-instrumentalist and guitar supremo Chris Cobbson. He presents his informative and highly entertaining show that tracks the history of how the guitar developed as a primary instrument in jazz. From the early years when guitarist like Charlie Christian and Django Reinhardt vamped their way into the history books; through swing players such as Grant Green and Barney Kessell to the more ‘modern’ players from Bebop and Fusion - Chris will play and narrate you through pieces that exemplify all these styles. Clarinettist & saxophonist Andy Hooley, bassist Paul Jefferies and drummer Charlie Stratford complete this fabulous quartet.

Jazz Nights at Frederick's

Jazz comes to Fredrick's through the experienced team of Paul and Jayne Jefferies, bringing top quality live jazz performers to Maidenhead.

Concerts feature trios, quartets and quintets and the style is varied so that over the year everyone’s favourite style is given a chance to shine - so you could hear Modern Jazz in the style of Herbie Hancock one month and nods to Stephane Grappelli the next with some Be-Bop, swing, Chanson or Blues in between.

Full bar service is available from 6.30pm to 11pm.
