ROGER BEAUJOLAIS, at age twenty-four, came late to the vibraphone, but was playing in public at twenty-eight. By the time he was thirty he was amongst the first to be a fully professional vibraphone player in the UK, originally gaining recognition with the 80’s jump jive favourites The Chevalier Brothers. Although initially ignored by the jazz scene in the UK, he played at the Montreux Jazz Festival, North Sea Jazz Festival, Stockholm Jazz Festival and jazz festivals throughout Europe. He also played on numerous TV and radio shows including The Old Grey Whistle Test. The band line-up for this intriguing evening will be ROGER BEAUJOLAIS, vibraphone; MARK EDWARDS, piano; SIMON THORPE, double bass; and MILO FELL, drums.
