July welcomes international jazz pianist Alex Ho to the Jazz Kitchen!
Enjoy an intimate, exclusive evening of easy listening live jazz at Tunbridge Wells’ first “pay-as-you-feel” café Charlie’s Angels Kitchens.
Currently based in London, Alex Ho began his career as a classical pianist, his concerto debut at only 18. His first opportunity to explore jazz music came during his undergraduate years at UCL studying Economics and he was hooked since then. He continued to study classical performance at the Royal Academy and Royal College of Music while maintaining a keen interest in jazz. Bassist and educator Gary Crosby OBE took Alex under his wing and invited him to join the Gary Crosby Quartet as part of the artist development programme of the educational organisation Tomorrow’s Warriors.
Since then Alex performed in some of London’s most important venues, international festivals and radio broadcasts, including BBC Radio 3 In Tune, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, the Purcell Room and The Queen Elizabeth Hall at Southbank Centre, PizzaExpress Jazz Club Soho, EFG London Jazz Festival, Manchester Jazz Festival, Bristol Jazz & Blues Festival, Marsden Jazz Festival, Brighton Jazz Festival and Guinness Cork Jazz Festival in Ireland. In 2017 Alex collaborated and performed with saxophonist Steve Williamson both in duo and quartet settings. Alex made his debut appearance in Mainland China at Shanghai Concert Hall and JZ Club in Guangzhou in 2018.
Alex will be joined by Jazz Kitchen host, singer and violinist Jennifer Maslin. The duo will treat diners to a great selection of well-known standards, swing, Latin & blues in the cosy setting of newly renovated, former Rendezvous restaurant.
Tickets £10 (& booking fee). Minimum ticket purchase is set to at least 2 to maximise table allocation. Please note tickets are non-refundable. Please contact Jennifer if this causes you a problem! (info @ jennifermaslin.co.uk)
Music will begin at 7pm and run through to 9pm.
