JOHN CRAWFORD QUINTET

John is one of the finest Latin/Jazz pianists on the scene. His unerring musicality and impressive technique have taken him all over the world, including Spain, Denmark, Germany, and the USA. He includes work with the likes of Latin legends Airto Moreira, Giovanni Hidalgo, Eumir Deodato, Frankie Morales (Tito Puentes last singer), Jesus Alemany’s Cubanismo, and Danny Silva, as well as UK-based artists like Snowboy, Guida da Palma’s Jazzinho, Negrocan, Roberto Pla, Robin Jones, Samara and Viramundo on a glittering cv. In addition to all that his non-Latin work includes gigs with the likes of Bjork, Tanita Tikarem, Andy Williams and Kirsty McColl. He is also a founder member of the popular band Grupo X. And just to prove his versatility, he is also one of this country’s leading exponents of Spanish music and his set tonight will include his remarkable arrangements for piano of some classic Flamenco pieces. Highly recommended.

*At Hideaway, you don’t have to sacrifice your love of football to indulge your love of jazz!!

The start time for tonight’s gig will depend on England’s progress in the 2010 World Cup. Should they be playing a second stage match this evening, the gig will begin at 9.30pm to accommodate those customers wishing to watch the football before enjoying the music. We have a function room adjoining the main venue which will show the entire match on our big screen (kick off 7.30pm) - normal time should finish roughly ten minutes before the music begins in the main venue. This screen is only available to customers who are staying for the evening’s music and as such the usual admission fees will apply.
