Birmingham Jazz ends this season of Jazz Club with an incredible band led  pianist and composer Dan Nicholls. Featuring reedsman James Allsopp of Fraud and The Golden Age of Steam and drummer Dave Smith of Outhouse and countless other bands.  Dan is one of the most promising young players to come from the Conservatoire jazz course.  He now spends his time between his home in Stafford and Copenhagen playing and composing music.  Combining the best of the Birmingham and London scenes, this gig promises to sign off Jazz Club for the summer in style. From Dan himself:

“Mirror is a new ensemble interpreting and reworking the compositions of keyboardist Dan Nicholls. Featuring the distinctive voices of James Allsopp (reeds) and Dave Smith (drums), the music aims for a fluidity between written and unwritten and explores the unexplicable connections between sound and image.”
