John Crawford is one of the finest Latin/Jazz pianists on the scene, whose unerring musicality and impressive technique have taken him all over the world, including Spain, Denmark, Germany, and the USA. He includes work with the likes of Latin legends Airto Moreira, Eumir Deodato and Jesus Alemany's Cubanismo as well as UK based artists such as Snowboy, Negrocan, Roberto Pla and Viramundo on a glittering cv. In addition to all that his non-Latin work includes gigs with the likes of Bjork, Tanita Tikarem, Andy Williams and Kirsty McColl. And just to prove his versatility he is also one of this country’s leading exponents of Spanish music and his set tonight will include his remarkable arrangements for piano of some classic Flamenco pieces. It’s a reflection of the respect with which John’s music is held that his latest, quite brilliant, CD "Ulia River of Time" was nominated for ‘Best Jazz Recording’ in the 2013 Independent Music Awards. Also featured with the band tonight will be Uruguayan guitarist Guille Hill and Spanish percussionist Andres Ticino. Impressive players, impressive music.
