The Pete Letanka trio return to Steyning Jazz Club on Friday, October 6 playing a blend of standards and originals with a new line-up: Pete Letanka, piano; Sam Burgess, bass; and Chris Higginbottom, drums.

Club spokesman Colin Jilks said: “Pete Letanka is a jazz pianist, composer, educator and presenter who enjoys performing with numerous ensembles, but especially with his own trio who perform regularly in a wide range of venues including Ronnie Scott’s, the Purcell Room and the Queen Elizabeth Hall. He is signed to the award-winning record label Zephyr Records who released his debut album Afrostocracy.

“Sam Burgess is an in-demand musician who has been in the Ronnie Scott's House Band for 13 years, and Chris Higginbottom's inventive drumming has made him popular at both domestic and international jazz festivals.
