SMJC Presents: ‘Michael Hanson Quartet’ at Whiskey Blue - Southampton - 19th May 2024 (6)

The SMJC is pleased to welcome guitar master Michael Hanson and his Hammond Trio back.
Michael Hanson has established himself as one of the major players on the UK jazz guitar scene. Whether in his duo performances with Dave Newton or in the trio Organic Matters, Mick's forte is hard-swinging, straight-ahead jazz with a contemporary Blue Note style approach.
Mick Hanson is one of the UK’s leading exponents of jazz guitar. His unique style is a masterful fusion of his early blues roots with the honest swinging jazz of the 50’s and 60’s. Mick has worked and recorded with many of the world’s best known performers including Eddie ‘Lockjaw’ Davis, Dick Morrissey, Brian Dee, Gordon Beck and Dave Newton. Michael has also recorded two critically acclaimed albums as a leader.
