WHEN: 8.00 pm, Monday 19 May 2025
WHERE: The Irving Studio,Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham
Tickets: £20.00

Nadim Tiemoori – Tenor Saxophone, Tim Lapthorne – Piano,  Andrew Cleyndert - Bass Joel Barford – Drums

Leading the quartet from the bottom end, Andrew’s career parallels Cheltenham Jazz Club’s having appeared on many of the Club’s notable gigs from the eighties including Bobby Watson, Ted Curson, the Don Weller/Bobby Wellins Quintet featuring Bryan Spring, Red Rodney with Peter King through to inclusion of later tours of artists such as Junior Mance .Following 2022’s well received drumless quartet gig for the Club, Andrew brings a more conventional straight-ahead quartet to Cheltenham featuring two talents who have already made a significant mark on the UK jazz scene, saxophonist Nadi Teimoori and drummer Joel Barford. They are joined by the formidably creative pianist Tim Lapthorn to offer an evening of swinging, dynamic jazz steeped in the rich harmony and beautiful melodies of Latin America as it’s inspiration exploring the familiar and less familiar Tom Jobim songbook, songs by Vinicius de Moraes, Coqueijo, Cavaquinho and others, through to the influential contemporary composer Toninho Horta.
