Jonathan Gee: piano
Marcus Vergette: double bass
Andy Trim: drums

Jonathan has performed all over the world with his various trios, including New York?s Lincoln Centre, the Rome Festival, Pori Festival, Baku Festival, and well known clubs such as Ronnie Scott?s in London. He has performed with such jazz stars as Claire Martin, Mark Murphy and Pharoah Sanders and has just released a new album ?Re-imagining The Beatles? featuring Italian saxophone star Gaetano Partipilo. The Independent acclaimed Jonathan as ?a compelling pianist? whose ?incisive improvisatory style is capable of packing a wealth of rhythmic and harmonic ideas into a single phrase.?

For this mini tour of Devon with Marcus Vergette on bass and Andy Trim on drums, Jonathan will be playing the music of Keith Jarrett and Stevie Wonder and perhaps some lockdown-inspired songs like Don?t Get Around Much Anymore, The Nearness of You and Don?t Stand So Close To Me.
Here he is in action live: on YouTube.


Marcus Vergette on bass has worked with many of the UK?s top jazz musicians including Mike Westbrook, Jean Toussaint, Steve Buckley and Don Weller. He's also an internationally-acclaimed sculptor who has exhibited, for example, in The Venice Guggenheim Collection. He has several tidal bells installed around the UK. His amazing double bell musical sculpture, the Harmonic Canon was a highlight of the Tinners Moon festival here at the Arts Centre in May 2019.

Andy Trim is one of the UK?s leading drummers, having worked with everyone from Humphrey Lyttleton and Peter King to Robert Mitchell, Mike Outram and Zoe Rahman. He has also worked with US legends such as Charles McPherson and Gene ?Mighty Flea? Connors and he runs a legendary monthly Friday night gig at The Archduke Wine Bar in London.
