Every Friday and Saturday night the John Watson Trio set the mood in the Palm Court with a cool mixture of jazz standards, tastefully arranged contemporary songs and a few original compositions. The trio consists of John Watson on piano, Miles Danso on bass and Louie Palmer on drums. All are well established musicians in their own right, the trio a melting pot of their varied backgrounds, view their latest review here.
Miles has played in many different genres from jazz to world music. Artists he has worked with include Jim Mullen, Soweto Kinch, Tony Kofi, David McAlmont, Juliet Roberts, Nathan Haines and Leee John. He has recorded and toured worldwide with internationally acclaimed Israeli Ladino artist Yasmin Levy and performed in two West End shows: Big Life (the Ska musical!) and Simply Heavenly. Louie is extremely proficient in all styles and has performed with jazz luminaries such as Jason Rebello and Lawrence Cottle and, in contrast, legendary rock band Barclay James Harvest. In 2001, Louie earned a 'World Tour Scholarship' to attend the world-renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA and has also studied extensively with world class drummers including Dave Weckl. |
