Multi-British-Jazz-Award-Winning pianist Craig Milverton is very much in demand, with his virtuoso ability and comprehensive knowledge of the entire jazz spectrum. He is also sought after as a skilled accompanist to a range of star vocalists. His trios are regularly required to back visiting American soloists at festivals and venues across the country including Scott Hamilton, Ken Peplowski and Warren Vache. Few British pianists have Craig’s thorough knowledge and grasp of jazz styles. His love of the music shines through and he is a natural at whatever he plays.
“Britain’s nearest to Oscar Peterson and the best to come along in the last 20 years” Digby Fairweather
“A master of whatever he chooses to perform, a truly great British Trio” Humphrey Lyttleton
“An extravagantly gifted pianist with an unrivalled swing” Dave Gelly, The Observer
“A hard swinging pianist whose chops certainly bring to mind, the great Oscar Peterson” Cadence Magazine, USA
“Surely one of the most gifted British pianists with technique and Imagination in abundance” Le Jazz Hot, France
“World class solos… such a gifted all rounder should be cherished by the entire jazz fraternity” Jazz Journal
This is a must for all Peterson fans and all those people who love Jazz that swings.
It’s a lunchtime gig — note start time, 2pm.
