His melodies were captivating and their musical forms indelible on the listeners ear. Many of his songs became Jazz Standards played by everyone ; Sonny Rollins, Charlie Parker. Coleman Hawkins , to name a few. The BeBop musicians used his songs as basis for their own creations and musical vehicles. This evening a quartet of some of the UK’s finest musicians play their version of some Cole Porter classics ; How Deep is The Ocean, So in Love, Everything I Love, Just One of Those Things and others will be interpreted with excitement and intimacy “Lapthorn blends witty invention with deep swing and unerring reassuring balance. ****” ​Mojo Gary Willcox – “…….a brisk, sensitive drummer capable of great dynamic and textural range…..” Chris Parker, Vortex Review ​ ” Stone-Lonergan’s big, generous tone and unfailing response to the gravitational pull of melody invests even his most challenging explorations with an emotional directness that’s utterly compelling to experience.” – Eddie Myer Jazzwise
