Spice Jazz Soho: The GAB Trio ft. BEA ASURMENDI

After 25 years of solid jazz promoting, as founded by Paul Pace, at the Spice of Life Soho, nurturing upcoming talents as well as established masters of the music, the SpiceJazz Team (Tara Minton and Clement Regert) are excited to relocate their acclaimed operation to the well-appointed and stylish music room of Crazy Coqs.

The GAB Trio is the brainchild of French guitarist/ band leader Clement Regert (Wild Card, Marcus Strickland).

He joined forces with long-term music partner, Italian guitarist Gianluca Corona (Al Di Meola) and versatile established drummer/percussionist Steve Taylor (Ian Shaw, Rosie Frater Taylor) for this new project. The sound is BIG, playing a melodic mix of flamenco/Brazilian-infused tunes and reworked pop numbers.

And watch out for their Special Guest, the rising star Basque singer Bea Asurmendi.

Line up:
Clement Regert: Guitar
Gianluca Corona: Guitar
Steve Taylor: Cajon/Percussion
Special Guest Bea Asurmendi: Vocals
