Andy Davies is an award-winning Welsh trumpeter (as well as being a comedian, scriptwriter, voiceover artist, actor, and educator). He has hosted the famous Ronnie Scott's Upstairs Jazz Jam for over 15 years.
A courageous and powerful hard bop player of the highest level, Andy is one of the most accomplished and exciting jazz musicians we have in the UK. Now, he’s heading out of central London to share the vibe of those wild nights with audiences at jazz clubs across the country.
As a sideman, Andy has performed and recorded internationally with jazz artists such as Ian Shaw, Ronnie Scott’s All Stars, Guy Barker Big Band, Tony Kofi Quintet, and Nigel Kennedy. He has released several albums with the Andy Davies Quartet, most recently the critically acclaimed, Rise of The Spidermonkey. They have toured internationally, including a tour of Japan, which culminated in a sold-out performance at the Tokyo Opera House.
For this special show for Stamford Jazz, Andy will be joined by:
Matthew Ratcliffe - Piano
Tom Dring - Double Bass
Andrew 'Woody' Wood - Drum Kit
