Ed Jones appears tonight (April 26) for Brighton Jazz Club with his quintet, one of the most high-octane small groups around.

The line-up comprises trumpeter Duncan Mackay, drummer Winston Clifford, bassist Geoff Gascoyne and pianist Jonathan Gee - all world-class players.

Definitely one of the most exciting sax soloists anywhere, Jones is a regular with soul-funkers Incognito and has guested with Tina Turner, Herbie Hancock, Bootsy Collins and Terry Callier among others.

Tomorrow evening US composer Terry Riley's In C classic is given a rare live performance by the Tacet Ensemble.

On Sunday, The Greys provides rootsier fare from Scots troubadour Alex McEwan.

Komedia, on Monday, has vocalist Rebecca Hollweg, whose jazz backgroundis broadening into Joni Mitchell territory.

On Tuesday at The Hare And Hounds, Worthing, tenor sax Simon Haysom appears with his band and on Wednesday, he is at The Harlequin, guesting with Terry Seabrook's trio.

On Thursday, trombonist Sid Bailey will be leading his New Orleans-style Tailgate Six at Steyning Jazz Club.
