“The Steve Chadwick Jazz project is a chance to play with two musicians Richard and Eryl who were my hero’s when I first entered the NW jazz scene back in the mid 1990’s, it was always and still is a real treat to hear them play and to get the chance to gig with them. I became aware of Pete a little later and he scared the pants off me, how could one be so young and so good?! He made me want to practice. I feel honoured to have them as part of the project. The project is a chance for me to reflect on the past 30 or so years as a gigging musician, re-visiting some old classics as well as some of my recent compositions and arrangements folk melodies.“
