SIMON SPILLETT is nothing less than a new-age British jazz legend! A lifelong Boswell for the great British tenor saxophonist Tubby Hayes, Simon has written his superb biography ‘A Man in a Hurry’; created a defintive DVD telling Hayes’ story and (most recently) recorded a superb five-star album leading a big band to play unrecorded music by Hayes; an artistic achievement which received five-star reviews in the jazz press. A fine writer – as well as a man whose on-stage persona is regularly as funny as another of his longtime heroes Ronnie Scott! – it would however be a mistake to see (or hear) Simon as anything other than an exciting solo voice of his own which never fails to electrify audiences at all of London’s biggest venues including Ronnie Scott’s and the Pizza Express’ down at Dean Street Soho. Tonight at Sands by the Sea we have another guest-star – solo pianist TED BEAMENT joining Simon’s quartet. This will be one of the greatest nights for our wonderful club, so do book early (we’re usually sold out!) – after 2pm on 01702 468123 and prepare to be blown away! And, by the way, don’t forget: at Sands by the Sea the music is always FREE!!
