Nick has performed and soloed with various big bands at venues such as The Barbican and the 606 club but this was his first outing leading a jazz quartet. Recorded live at the Swing Unlimited Jazz Club, Centre Stage, Bournemouth on 14th August 2013 (aged 14).

Incidentally, his sax was in for an untimely repair so he was borrowing his dad's £300 tenor and mouthpiece, no music and after just one brief rehearsal (without the drummer).

Many thanks to Colin Willsher (piano), Will Miller (bass) (aged 16) and Sy Gorelick who stepped in at the last minute on drums.

The music featured here includes:
Hide And Seek (Joshua Redman)
Sunny (Bobby Hebb)
There Will Never Be Another You (Harry Warren)
Someday My Prince Will Come (Frank Churchill)
When The Sun Comes Down (Joshua Redman)
St Thomas (Trad / Sonny Rollins)
