They will lead a quartet playing music by Benny Goodman as well as some much-loved Jazz standards.

Nathaniel Steele is a jazz vibraphone player and drummer based in London. Since his arrival on the scene, he has quickly gained a reputation as a talented musician to watch out for, described by Clark Tracey as “one of the best vibes players this country has ever produced”. Following in the style of Milt Jackson and Cal Tjader, Nat takes a two-mallet approach to improvisation, focusing on melodic interpretation and a swing feel.
