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!

SUMMARY:John Etheridge on Guitar at Googlies Thursday June 4 2026
DESCRIPTION:Few guitarists have navigated as much musical territory as John Etheridge. His career stretches from the progressive rock of the early 1970s through to his pivotal years with Soft Machine\, where he stepped into Allan Holdsworth’s considerable shoes — and made the role entirely his own. He received the Musicians’ Company Jazz Lifetime Achievement Award in 2025\, joining a roll-call that includes Ronnie Scott and Dave Holland. Pat Metheny is among those who have praised him unreservedly. Catch one of Britain’s most complete guitarists in the intimate setting of Googlies\, where he truly shines.
