Hear the latest sounds and techniques from some of the best in the business. Be swept away by the smooth sounds at our ever popular jazz event.

Clark Tracey BEM grew up in a jazz environment as the son of Stan Tracey OBE, CBE, the UK’s multi award winning legendary jazz pianist, and Jackie Tracey, a former head of A&R at Decca Records and pioneer of British jazz recordings in the 1950s, as well as jazz club owner in the 1970s. From an early age Clark took to the piano and vibraphones. At 13 he started playing the drums and turned professional at 17 in 1978 by joining his father’s various ensembles, from trio to orchestra for the next 35 years, up until Stan’s death in 2013. Within that context he toured worldwide and recorded extensively. In 2001 Clark began his own record company, Tentoten Records and in 2007 he formed Resteamed Records, a label dedicated to his father’s works. In 2017 he wrote a biography of Stan entitled “The Godfather of British Jazz”, released on Equinox Publishing.
