Ealing Jazz Legend Plays Again

---

Veteran Jack Honeyborne at the Rose and Crown

The Eric Gilchrist Jazz Quintet is playing at the Rose and Crown in Ealing W5 this week.

The quintet features jazz legend and local Ealing resident 81 year old Jack Honeyborne on piano.

Jack played recently at the Ealing Summer Jazz festival at Walpole park - this is what was written about him;

'Celebrated Ealing pianist Jack Honeyborne is a true veteran of Britain`s jazz and big band world with a pedigree that reaches way back to his founder-membership of Kenny Graham`s Afro Cubists, a highly innovative modern jazz group of the early 1950s.

Since then he has played with practically everyone of note, from the small bands of Nat Gonella and Joe Daniels to such renowned big bands of the day as Ken Mackintosh, the Squadronaires and Ted Heath.

Whether as an in-demand freelance jazz pianist or as an accompanist and musical director to stars of the entertainment world, like the late Sir Harry Secombe and Dame Vera Lynn, he has done it all and played with the very best.'
