As a side man he has played alongside Tony Kofi, Jim Mullen, the late great Johnny Dankworth, American heavyweights such as Ralph Moore, Howard Alden, Jerry Weldon and Richard Johnson.
Chris leads many projects including ‘The Re-Birth Octet’ with Alan Barnes playing the music from ‘Birth Of The Cool’, a septet with Andy Panayi playing the music of ‘Blues And The Abstract Truth’ his own Octet and its ‘Ellingtonia’ project as well as a recent arrangement of the jazz opera ‘Porgy and Bess’ featuring renowned singer Imogen Ryall.
Press quotes
Ivan Hewett – Daily Telegraph “
Chris Coull and the Rebirth Octet’s rendition of Miles Davis’ 1957 album ‘Birth of the Cool” is far from just a note-for-note recreation.
Alan Barnes (jazz musician) Chris contributes inspired and tasteful solos throughout, the result is a charming, beautifully arranged album of unhackneyed material
The club can be found in the Town Square Social Club (formerly known as Bexhill Comrades Club)
4-6 London Road Bexhill TN39 3JU
The club is set back from the road up a short slope and on the left just before the roundabout
