This week, The Greys features a number of US visitors with Sunday's highlight being the delta blues sound of the Spikedrivers.

Hailing from Carolina, Texas and Hollywood, they were founded by Ben Tyzack, who began playing New Orleans-style jazz in Charleston, South Carolina.

Bassist and vocalist Constance Redgrave has gigged with Booker T legend Steve Cropper. Drummer and vocalist Maurice McElroy's credits include Otis Grand, Larry Garner and Big Joe Louis.

Monday brings charismatic US vocalist and songwriter Tess Garraway. Her expressive voice has brought comparisons with Sarah Vaughan from The Observer. With her is the familiar talent of pianist Joss Peach.

On Tuesday, Worthing's Hare And Hounds has the band led by Hammond organist Gary Baldwin and guitarist Mick Hanson.

Baldwin has shared the bill with Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff and Ritchie Cole and is a regular performer around Europe.

Hanson is a hard bop and soul jazz specialist who has gigged with Dave Newton and Kevin Flanagan.

Wednesday finds guitarist Dave Cliff as the solo guest with Terry Seabrook's trio at The Harlequin in Brighton.

Cliff is back at Lewes Jazz Club on Thursday night, this time in his classic partnership with alto saxophonist Geoff Simkins.

Their quartet is completed by Simon Woolf on double bass and Ron Parry on drums.
