Overview

Organised by Guildford Jazz

Pianist Leon Greening is a hugely popular performer at jazz clubs around the UK . Born in Southampton to a jazz-loving father, Leon studied piano at Leeds College of Music and The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London. With his hard swinging style, inspired by the likes of Bud Powell, Wynton Kelly and Bobby Timmons, Leon epitomises the very best on the UK Jazz scene today. Joining Leon will be the UK’s premier jazz drummer Steve Brown, and Guildford Jazz anchor Marianne Windham on bass.

“Leon Greening….epitomises the assured confidence of a new generation.’” – Jazz Journal


Lunchtime jazz is held in V Café, which boasts a baby grand piano as well as delicious vegetarian food.

Food is served from 12 to 2pm, followed by live jazz performance from 2pm to 3pm.
