JCUK presents Bruce Adams and Dave Newton

Bruce Adams – Dave Newton Duo

A welcome return to The Jazz Centre for two of Britain’s top jazz musicians: Scotland’s finest, Bruce Adams and Dave Newton.

Multi British Jazz Award winner, trumpeter Bruce Adams began his career in Scotland in the early 1980s working with Americans including Dick Hyman and Benny Carter, before moving to London in 1989 to freelance. Thereafter he worked as an in-demand soloist (notably with Pete Long's Echoes of Ellington orchestra), and as guest soloist with a plethora of big bands.

In 1992 he formed a poll winning quintet with saxophonist-composer Alan Barnes; a partnership which continues today. When not working with Alan, Bruce’s other regular partners have included singers Elaine Delmar and Val Wiseman and as a soloist he leads his own quartet for jazz festivals all over the UK.
