The North London Jazz Collective is delighted to present a special collaboration between one of the finest and most acclaimed jazz trumpeters alive in the world today, and one of the UK's most celebrated pianist: Joe Magnarelli & Sean Fyfe. The all-star band is completed by UK jazz  greats Jeremy Brown on bass, and Mark Taylor on drums. Don't miss it!
