The Hampstead Jazz Club Presents Tim Whitehead's new collection of Personal Standards featuring some of the very best composers from contemporary music in fresh settings , and some fresh original compositions.

Tim’s first adventure into recording Personal Standards earned him **** 'Jazz album of the year' in the BBC Music Magazine, and 'Album of the week' in The Guardian. It featured music he grew up with including the soul music of Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers , Martha Reeves and The Vandellas,The Temptations and the fusion music of Wayne Shorter and Joe Zawinul.

“Playing tantalisingly delicately, Whitehead really showed off his impressive control and his convincing role as emotional puppeteer: several Spin-goers reached out to clap the hands of their partners.” - The Oxford Times

"Tim Whitehead’s music always stands on its own feet. His bands are consistently fine examples of attractively song-rooted composing and cutting-edge postbop improv”- John Fordham in The Guardian

He has won several major awards , including 'The Peter Whittingham Award for New Music,' 'The Andrew Milne Award,' 'The Greater London Arts Young Jazz Musicians Award,' and was the first ever musician artist in residence at Tate Britain in 2009. He was also shortlisted for The British Composer Awards in 2010 and Jazz Album of The Year in 2011 for the subsequent recording “Colour Beginnings”.

In 2013 he was commissioned to compose and Perform “Turner And The Thames” in The London Jazz Festival and composed with Colin Riley and toured a jazz musical for children with children’s poet laureate Michael Rosen.In 2014 he was
commissioned to compose and perform “The Ballad Of Lord Franklin and The Teignmouth Fishermen” in The Tall Ships Festival with his daughter Hattie, and in 2015 he composed and recorded “Wake Up Call” for Sextet for Sony /EMI.

Tim will be joined by a group of accomplished musicians:

David Gordon. An award winning versatile pianist, composer
equally at home in Baroque music aswell as jazz, has compiled an impressive discography ofexplorations into Latin American music (David Gordon Speaks Latin, “Impressive stuff from an impressive British trio”Blues And Soul) classical (Alexander Scriabin’s ragtime Band) and contemporary jazz (Undiminished).

Tom Hooper. A versatile percussionist who has worked with Grace Jones. Simple Minds, Dutch pop star Jan Smit. Aynsley Lister, Jackie Graham, Sir John Dankworth, Brian McFadden, Omar, Skye Edwards.

“Those of us who have caught him live….have been left blinking in disbelief.Its not just his mastery of the tenor saxophone , phenomenal though that is , but the absolute conviction of his playing that is so impressive .”- Dave Gelly journalist BBC/Observer

“it is this visionary sensitivity that made listening to Whitehead such a delight. We, too, were sucked
into his world.” - Oxford Times (Nov 2021)
