EDDIE GRIPPER TRIO
"The quality of tonight’s performance suggested that 2024 will be a big year for Gripper as he takes his music to jazz venues all around the UK and the Republic of Ireland." - The JazzMann

LAURA JURD SEXTET
"It represented a considerable coup for Black Mountain Jazz to persuade the award winning trumpeter and composer Laura Jurd to come and perform at the wall2wall Jazz Festival.
Tonight the performance was notable for the unusual blend of the brass instruments, ...(and) the flexibility of the rhythms generated by the combination of drums, electric bass and tuba." The Jazz Mann

SARAH BROWN
"This was a superb performance from both Brown and Good and the reaction of the audience was ecstatic, the duo remaining on stage to encore with “Amazing Grace”, famously performed by Jackson at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival." - The Jazz Mann
