Join us for Friday Night Jazz at the Atrium Bar & Restaurant, President Hotel, Russell Square. On 23 October, we are delighted to present internationally acclaimed chromatic harmonica virtuoso Adam Glasser, accompanied by Soner Ersen (piano), Andy Cleyndert (bass), and Eric Ford (drums).

Adam Glasser is internationally recognised as one of the world's leading jazz chromatic harmonica players. Originally from South Africa, he is celebrated for his unique blend of South African township jazz and contemporary jazz improvisation. A pianist, composer and educator, Adam has performed with artists including Joe Zawinul, Sting, Hugh Masekela, the Eurythmics and Incognito, and has recorded for numerous film composers including Howard Shore. His critically acclaimed album Free at First won the South African Music Award for Best Modern Jazz Album.

Together, they will present an evening of beautifully interpreted jazz standards, South African-inspired melodies, swinging grooves, and inspired improvisation, showcasing the expressive sound and remarkable versatility of the chromatic harmonica.

To enjoy the full experience of the evening, we recommend arriving before 7:30 PM to allow time to be seated, order your food and drinks, and settle in comfortably before the music begins at 8:00 PM.

If you expect to arrive after 8:00 PM, please email londonjazzstage@gmail.com in advance so we can note your arrival time and do our best to arrange suitable seating.
