John Etheridge's Sweet Chorus at Hull Jazz Festival at Hull Truck Theatre

About

A personal tribute by guitar legend Etheridge to his mentor and inspiration, Stéphane Grappelli, with whom he worked for 5 years in the 70’s and early 80’s.

Taking its cue from the Hot Club of France – the legendary group led by Grappelli and Django Reinhardt – the band features John’s dazzling guitar work and the scintillating violin of Chris Garrick. The relationship of these two, alongside Dave Kelbie (guitar) and Andy Crowdy (bass), has been described as one of the most potent in European jazz.
