Matt Carter and Leigh Coleman have developed a rare musical partnership which electrifies the jazz classics with Matt’s percussive piano playing and catchy arrangements overlaid with Leigh’s sumptuous voice.
Matt Carteris developing a national reputation for his dynamic piano playing and creative arrangements. Matt is a keyboard player of choice for the likes of Alan Barnes, Mike Outram, Brandon Allen and Greg Abate. He has played at some of the most iconic venues in the country including Ronnie Scotts, the 606 Jazz Club, the 100 Club and The Vortex.
He’s joined by some of the country’s budding jazz stars. from the Royal Academy of Music in London and the southwest region’s finest young musicians.
Leigh Colemanis not known as “Soulman Coleman” for nothing! He’s worked with Joss Stone, Beverley Knight and the legendary Betty Wright in the US and is, in our opinion, one of the UK’s finest soul singers. Last year, together with Matt, he delivered one of the festival’s most memorable shows with a vibrant and passionate tribute to Stevie Wonder.
They’re joined on bass and drums by Seth Tackaberry and Luca Caruso. Seth is the only electric bass player ever to make the finals of BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year in 2018.
