Chico Chagas is generally recognized as one of the great Jazz/Brazilian accordionists in World music. His fluent style and remarkable technique have made him something of a star in his native Brazil and it's our gain that he has now decided to split his time between London and Rio. A real character his music is at once flowing and surprising, melodic and rich in Brazilian melody.     

Dave O'Higgins is undoubtedly one of this country's finest modern jazz sax players. His powerful, driving, style has been a feature of the scene since his work with NYJO in the early 80's, and has been heard with Cleo Lane & John Dankworth, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Jimmy Smith and Annie Lennox to name but a few. A multi award winner (British Jazz awards twice!) he has produced 9 albums to date of his own work, and has appeared on numerous sessions and festivals around the world. A unique band on the UK scene this and absolutely worth catching.  "Dazzling post-bop tenorist with a magnificent range and a dramatic turn of phrase." THE GUARDIAN
