SUMMARY:THURSDAY MAY 21 2026 ADAM GLASSER: HARMONICA
DESCRIPTION:Adam Glasser was born in Cambridge in 1955 while his South African father\, composer Stanley ‘Spike’ Glasser\, was studying at King’s College. The family returned to South Africa\, and Adam grew up in Johannesburg surrounded by some of the greatest names in South African jazz. He came back to Britain to study European literature at Warwick\, spent time in Paris playing jazz piano\, and somewhere along the way — on a cruise ship\, aged twenty-eight — picked up the chromatic harmonica and never looked back. In the mid-1980s he toured with the legendary alto player Dudu Pukwana. In 1999 he stepped in for Stevie Wonder twice in a single year: once on television with Sting\, and once with the Eurythmics at Party in the Park. He served sixteen years as musical director of the Manhattan Brothers. His most recent album\, SA and Beyond\, released in 2024\, won Best Traditional Jazz Album at the Mzantsi Jazz Awards in Johannesburg in 2025. Jazzwise described it as keeping alive the heritage of South African jazz for modern audiences. There is nobody quite like him. Googlies is very glad he’s here.

SUMMARY:THURSDAY MAY 14 2026 TIM WHITEHEAD: SAXOPHONES
DESCRIPTION:Tim Whitehead’s story has one of the great opening lines in British jazz. Born in Liverpool\, son of one of the original writers of Dennis the Menace in The Beano\, his first public performance was as clarinet soloist in a school orchestra concert conducted by a fellow pupil — one Simon Rattle. He then read law at Manchester University before jazz pulled him away from the bar for good. That was 1976. What followed was fifty years of serious\, independent-minded music-making: touring with Ian Carr’s Nucleus and Graham Collier\, a pivotal role in the groundbreaking big band Loose Tubes in the 1980s\, residencies at Ronnie Scott’s\, an Artist in Residence at Tate Britain\, a London Jazz Festival commission\, and a shortlisting for British Composer of the Year. His 1999 album Personal Standards won BBC Music Magazine’s Jazz Album of the Year. The Times called his music “marked by a sense of grace and economy.” That still holds. Googlies is delighted to welcome him back.

SUMMARY:THURSDAY MAY 7 2026 SUE RICHARDSON: TRUMPET AND VOCALS
DESCRIPTION:Sue Richardson is that rare thing: a musician who plays trumpet and sings\, and does both at the highest level. Born in Dunstable and rooted in the British mainstream tradition\, she has built a career shaped by Chet Baker\, Clifford Brown and Ella Fitzgerald — and you can hear all three in her playing and singing without her simply imitating any of them. Her 2013 album Too Cool\, a portrait of the life and music of Chet Baker\, made the Sunday Times Top 10 jazz releases worldwide. The Observer noted that she “plays swinging jazz trumpet and sings with a musician’s phrasing.” Jamie Cullum on BBC Radio 2 called her “pitch-perfect British mainstream jazz.” She has performed at the Last Night of the Proms\, played with Humphrey Lyttelton’s band\, and appeared at the EFG London Jazz Festival. We’re very glad she’s back with us at Googlies.

SUMMARY:THURSDAY APRIL 30 2026 DOMINIC ASHWORTH: GUITAR
DESCRIPTION:Born in Hamilton\, Ontario\, Dominic Ashworth has made London his home since the 1980s and spent four decades quietly becoming one of the most distinctive guitarists on the British jazz scene. His background is unusually broad: he trained in classical guitar at the University of Toronto\, studied under scholarship in Spain\, and performed at the Havana Guitar Festival before settling in the UK. That range shows in his playing — Bach and Paco de Lucia sit alongside Wes Montgomery and George Benson in his musical make-up\, and the result is something genuinely personal. His most recent album\, Views\, came out in 2024. He is also known as a generous collaborator\, the kind of musician other musicians want in the room. Googlies is glad to have him in ours.

SUMMARY:THURSDAY APRIL 23 2026 ALAN BARNES: SAXOPHONES AND CLARINET
DESCRIPTION:Few musicians in British jazz have covered as much ground as Alan Barnes. In a career spanning more than thirty years\, he has recorded over thirty albums as leader or co-leader\, picked up more than twenty-five British Jazz Awards\, and twice been named BBC Jazz Musician of the Year. His session credits take in everyone from Björk to Jamie Cullum. His live work has put him alongside Ruby Braff\, Freddie Hubbard and Humphrey Lyttelton. His current project\, Copperfield\, is a full Dickensian jazz suite for octet — the kind of ambitious\, literary programme that only someone with Barnes’s compositional range and sheer musical confidence would attempt. The Guardian put it well: he plays music rooted in jazz history\, but delivers it with such passion and energy that it sounds freshly made. A genuinely rare talent. Very welcome back to Googlies.

SUMMARY:THURSDAY APRIL 16 2026 SARA OSCHLAG: VOCALS
DESCRIPTION:Danish-born Sara Oschlag has built a real following on the UK and European jazz circuit\, and it’s not hard to hear why. She brings an instinctive musicality to everything she sings — a keen sense of dynamics\, texture and rhythm that marks her out as a genuine musician first\, and a singer second. Claire Martin OBE\, five-time winner of the British Jazz Award for best vocalist\, praised her as “a singer with a natural musician’s ear and beautiful sense of swing.” Jazzwise called her “a tour de force.” Her most recent album\, YEAH!\, has been taking her to clubs and festivals across Britain and Ireland. We’re very glad it’s brought her back to Googlies.

SUMMARY:THURSDAY APRIL 9 2026 VASILIS XENOPOULOS: SAXOPHONES
DESCRIPTION:Vasilis Xenopoulos grew up in Greece\, trained at Berklee in Boston\, and made London his home — and the city’s jazz scene is the richer for it. He plays straight-ahead jazz with genuine authority\, the kind that comes from years of serious gigging rather than careful positioning. His 2019 album Dexterity took on the music of Dexter Gordon — never an easy act to honour — alongside trumpeter Quentin Collins and pianist Ross Stanley. His ongoing quartet with guitarist Nigel Price\, the XPQ\, has earned its own devoted following. The Guardian called the pairing “downright irresistible.” Not much to argue with there. Googlies is very glad to have him back.

SUMMARY:CATHERINE LIMA ON VOCALS AT GOOGLIES THURSDAY MARCH 26 2026
DESCRIPTION:Catherine Lima returns to Googlies jazz club on Thursday March 26\, and if you’ve seen her before\, you already know to book fast. \nBorn in Chiswick\, shaped by Lancashire\, the Midlands and Madrid\, Lima brings a singer’s lifetime of wandering to every song she touches. On the London jazz circuit since 2001\, she has the hard-won ease of someone who genuinely loves what she does\, and it shows in every phrase.\nHer voice does remarkable things. It can hold a room in silence or set it alight\, moving from sultry to joyous inside a single standard. Her influences run deep\, from the cool intelligence of Anita O’Day to the emotional directness of Peggy Lee\, but what you hear on the night is unmistakably her own. She scats with confidence\, phrases with precision\, and never loses the emotional thread.\nThis is jazz singing at its most alive: witty\, warm\, and completely in the moment. \n

SUMMARY:DAVE O'HIGGINS PLAYS SAX AT GOOGLIES THURSDAY MARCH 19 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Observer nailed it: Dave O’Higgins plays with exceptional fluency and his ideas never run dry. His tenor and soprano sounds are instantly recognisable\, drawing from a palette that spans Charlie Parker through to Michael Brecker. \nDave’s CV reads like a masterclass in versatility. Frank Sinatra’s final London run at the Royal Albert Hall in 1992. A tour and album with Ray Charles. Collaborations stretching from Wayne Shorter and Joe Lovano through to Jamie Cullum and Kyle Eastwood. He’s played with the Darius Brubeck Quartet\, Jim Mullen\, Martin Taylor’s Spirit of Django\, and John Dankworth with Cleo Laine.Beyond performing\, Dave leads the Jazz Pathway at London College of Contemporary Media and runs JVG\, a specialist jazz recording studio where he blends Rudy Van Gelder’s vintage techniques with modern innovation.\nA British Jazz Award nominee who delivers every time. Another very welcome return to Googlies.
