Jam Session feat. Nat Steele

We’re delighted to welcome back Nat Steele to Highams Park Jazz Club. A leading UK vibraphonist known for his swinging bebop and hard bop style, Nat brings a vibrant energy and exceptional musicianship to the stage. His previous appearance at the club was a real highlight, and we’re thrilled to have him return for another unforgettable evening.

Nat’s debut album, Portrait of the Modern Jazz Quartet, received widespread acclaim, including “Jazz Album of the Month” in BBC Music Magazine, 4-star reviews in The Observer and Jazzwise, and a top 10 position in the Japanese jazz charts. He has performed at prestigious venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and toured the UK extensively, including an 18-date Arts Council-funded tour alongside New York tenor saxophonist Grant Stewart. He was also invited by Grammy Award-winning pianist Alan Broadbent to premiere a new composition in celebration of Watermill Jazz’s 25th anniversary. Nat is currently working on two new albums, including a tribute to Milt Jackson, marking the centenary of his birth.

The evening will begin with a first set featuring Nat alongside our house band, followed by a second set open jam session – always a favourite with audiences and local musicians alike.
