Dan Reinstein's 16th Anniversary Christmas Party

American born but British educated, I first met Dan at the old Club when he was a medical undergraduate. Even then he was an impressive player, and after taking time off from his medical studies to go to the Berklee School of Music he became even better. He returned to the USA in the early 90s where he became one of the world’s leading experts in laser eye surgery (he’s now officially Professor Reinstein). But he never stopped playing and when he returned to London to live and work (www.londonvisionclinic.com) it was great to hear his fluent, classic hard-bop, muscular sax playing again. Tonight Dan will be inviting some friends along to help celebrate his 16th Anniversary of performing at the 606, so expect some Surprise Guests and a lot of fun! Also featured tonight will be the fluent and impressive trumpet of Shanti Jayasinha and the excellent piano playing of Tim Lapthorn.
