Vic Ash

Jazz legend at the Lund

PREVIEW:VIC ASH JAZZ IN THE LUND
University College School

JAZZ in the Lund is to host a true legend of saxophone, Vic Ash.
The concert is being dedicated to the memory of Allan Ganley, one of the greatest British jazz drummers, who died suddenly a few weeks ago and was scheduled to perform with his dear friend Vic Ash at this gig.
Ash is also no stranger to the big stage, having played with Frank Sinatra for 22 years during his time on tour throughout the UK, Middle East and Europe.
He has also performed with such stars as Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck, Dizzy Gillespie, Johnny Dankworth and Tony Bennett.
Ash’s band for the Lund gig, which takes place on May 8, features former drummer for jazz legend Oscar Peterson, Martin Drew, Ronnie Scott’s favourite pianist John Critchinson, 2006 BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year Simon Spillett (sax) and bassist Simon Thorpe.
