Witney Jazz presents Gripper and Jeffrey Quartet @ The Corn Exchange, Witney

• Events Home

From Nat King Cole to Ellington – a gorgeously lyrical, vocal Led Show
After graduating from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama two years ago, Elijah Jefferey has established himself as one of the UK’s most exciting male jazz singers. Elijah released his debut EP, ‘One of Her Clowns’ in June 2023. The EP marks Elijah’s first foray into writing and releasing original music, fusing his love of jazz with soul, singer-songwriter and folk sensibilities. Elijah has a wonderful voice – with an almost Randy Newman-like quality, yet with an engaging sense of fun and Swing. Pianist Eddie Gripper studied jazz with one of the UK’s most renowned pianists – Huw Warren, he is now highly regarded as one of the new breed of young jazzers with a fluent grasp of jazz swing and contemporary jazz harmony. Expect classics from the songbooks of Nat ‘King’ Cole and Mel Tormé, selections from the likes of Kurt Elling and Muse, as well as Elijah’s own writing from his debut EP and beyond. The other half of this excellent quartet are top rated drummer Euan Palmer and bassist Paul Jefferies.
