We arrive on May 22, depart for home on May 28th. We are small town folks so very appreciative for any tips. Thank you.
Alright then, here's what I'd pick from those dates.
22nd: Ed Richardson big band at Ronnies will be fab - that's a ridiculous trombone section.

22nd: Heidi Vogel - Ivo Neame's on it, and he's a genius

22nd: Tivon Pennicott could be fun at The Vortex:

(blimey, there's so much good stuff on the 22nd!)
22nd: Ant Law is an astonishingly good guitarist

24th: Chris Dean - Songs of Tony Bennett
Chris is a fine singer and an even better trombonist. He's got that super-sweet silky Dorsey thing down, better than anyone I've heard. He's been running the Syd Lawrence Orchestra for aeons, too.

25th: Tom Smith Quartet

26th: Mike Gorman and Brigitte Beraha
Brigitte's a treasure - into free improvisation and vocal effects

27th: Art Themen quartet at The Oval Tavern, East Croydon.
A bit out of central london and I'd recommend booking if you want to go to this one as it's just in a back street pub. But Art's a living legend having played with absolutely everyone in his time
That should do it!
