Garden Grooves: John Martin Quartet

Join us in our spectacular gardens for a summer’s evening of music and American-inspired food and drink. Soak up the stunning views across the Limpley Stoke valley while you enjoy the music and choose from an array of light supper and refreshing drinks options at the all-new American Garden Deli.

John Martin Quartet

An evening of jazz classics, Rat Pack Hits & Brazilian Bossa Nova led by critically acclaimed tenor saxophonist John Martin, with:

John Martin – Saxophone

Henrik Jensen – Double Bass

Dave Newton – Piano

Mark Whitlam – Drums

“Martin builds improvisations with a fine concern for tonal subtleties, shrewdly making use of multiphonic sounds and advanced fingerings… a distinctive voice and an explorer of restless promise.” John Fordham – The Guardian
