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 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 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 28 2026 STEVE WATERMAN: TRUMPET
DESCRIPTION:Steve Waterman has been one of Britain’s most consistently respected jazz trumpet players for decades\, working across the British\, European and international scene since his student days at Trinity College of Music. His discography runs to eight albums under his own name\, and his wider credits are formidable: he has recorded on the ECM label with both John Surman’s Brass Project and the Carla Bley Big Band\, and worked alongside Andy Sheppard\, Mal Waldron\, Tony Coe and Graham Collier among many others. In December 2002 he performed at the Havana Jazz Festival as a guest of Chucho Valdés. He co-wrote The Jazz Method for Trumpet\, published by Schott\, and teaches at Trinity College of Music\, the Royal Northern College of Music and the Welsh College of Music and Drama. He also runs an annual Contemporary Big Band Weekend with Alan Barnes — who\, as it happens\, plays Googlies just five weeks before him. A serious musician with a warm and swinging sound. Very welcome back\, Steve!
