Irrepressible saxophone star of the Jools Holland Rhythm & Blues Orchestra and one of the hottest, funkiest players on the UK scene, Derek Nash received the British Jazz Award for best album for his Acoustic Quartet CD release Joyriding.
He exudes an irresistible exuberance as both bandleader of his distinguished group Sax Appeal and as a distinguished jazz soloist and composer in his own right.
With David Newton, 16 times winner of Best UK Jazz Piano Player (British Jazz Awards) , Sebastian de Krom on drums , and Marianne Windham on bass

DIRECTIONS
The performance is upstairs in the Pavilion building at the Guildford County Cricket Club, The Sports Ground, Woodbridge Road, Guildford GU1 4RP
For sat navs please check the postcode takes you to Wharf Road. There’s a car park alongside, entry from Wharf Road. If you’re approaching from Guildford town centre, Wharf Road is on the left just before the Sports Ground. If you’re approaching from the A3/Ladymead there’s no right turn into Wharf Road, but continue to the next roundabout to double back.
The car park next to the Pavilion holds about 40 cars (to enable emergency access, cars can only park in the marked bays). Unless it’s very wet, the overflow car park at the far end of the Cricket ground will be open.
To access the overflow car park, turn left as you come out of Wharf Road and carry on along Woodbridge Road towards the railway bridge, and the entrance to the ground is just before the end of the green fence that runs along the perimeter of the ground, next to the Woodbridge Café.
You might prefer to use one of the larger public car parks which are just a few minutes walk away: the open air Mary Road Car Park (GU1 4QU) or multi-storey Bedford Road Car Park (GU1 4SJ)
