Fine talents combine for Eastbourne's Jazz Sunday

Jazz Sunday at the Fishermen's Club on Eastbourne’s Royal Parade continues on Sunday, April 19 at 3pm with the Chris Coull Trio and Andy Panayi.

Spokeswoman Annette Keen said: “These afternoon sessions are in addition to the regular monthly gigs which Splash Point Jazz Club Eastbourne promote at the Fishermen's Club on Royal Parade on the last Wednesday of each month and are brought to you by the same team.

“From his beginnings in Manchester, Chris Coull (trumpet) was previously based in Qatar for 15 years as director of Doha Jazz. For the last decade Chris has been resident in Brighton where his playful be-bop style has been in evidence in the clubs and festivals around the area.

“Chris has played with and led collaborations with Alan Barnes, David Newton, Andy Panayi, Josephine Davies, Toni Kofi, Darren Beckett, Sara Oschlag and Imogen Ryall. He has appeared at many festivals including Jazz at The Lincoln Centre Doha, Appleby Jazz festival, Manchester Jazz Festival, Love Supreme, Leeds Jazz Festival and Swanage Jazz Festival.

“Chris teaches trumpet and jazz theory to all instruments from his studio in Brighton. As well as being a performer, arranger and composer, (winner of Yorkshire TV’s jazz arranging prize in 1998), Chris is a qualified teacher. He currently promotes jazz at several venues in the Hove area. Appearing with Chris on Jazz Sunday are Terry Seabrook (keys) and Joe Edwards (drums), both busy, in-demand musicians in the south-east.

“Terry is a jazz pianist, organ player, composer and jazz teacher, who currently promotes gigs in Lewes. He leads Atlanticus, a quartet featuring New York-based sax player Peter Fraize, and tours extensively with them each summer in both the UK and USA.

“Joe Edwards burst onto the local jazz scene a few years ago and has since become a much-admired drummer who can adapt his style to play with a wide variety of bands.

“Andy Panayi (sax/flute) is Jazz Sunday host and guest player with the trio. A multi-award winner, Andy has worked in a variety of settings including West End theatre, Last Night of the Proms and literally hundreds of jazz ensembles. He has led a Baroque ensemble and a classically themed woodwind quartet, currently runs a number of bands including a big band and also plays in ambient-rock band Held By Trees. Andy is also an educator, composer and arranger and is in great demand as a session musician.”

The next Jazz Sunday gig will be on May 10 and will feature a different band.

The venue is the Fishermen's Club, Royal Parade, BN22 7AA, where a full bar will be running throughout the gig. The music starts at 3pm, finishing at around 5.30pm. Entry is £10 on the door.
