The Other Side of John Wheatcroft
John Wheatcroft, Alan Barnes & friends
The highly acclaimed Liverpool-based jazz guitarist John Wheatcroft is renowned for his inspired transcriptions of Django Reinhardt‘s extensive back catalogue from the Hot Club de France period. But Wheatcroft has another side to his playing; that of an essentially contemporary player, with an overriding musical reference to the jazz fusion movement of recent decades.
Wheatcroft is aided and abetted by his close friend and regular sideman, the award-winning saxophonist, clarinetist, educator and composer Alan Barnes, with the rest of the line-up drawn from some of the finest local exponents of jazz.
John Wheatcroft - guitar
Alan Barnes - sax & clarinet
Ian Riley - keyboards
Bill Coleman - bass
Chris Hilliard - drums
Plus one or two special guests!
