Bim Williams, Andy Patterson and Ruben Sheridan play in an Ahmad Jamal themed night.

4/ Nils Kavanagh, James Lee, Bailey Love Flute and Tankard, Cardiff Wed 19 June

Brad-tastic piano night shaping up with award winning Irish new generation pianist Nils Kavanagh to the fore at this very happening consistently well programmed jazz friendly Cardiff pub.

5/ John Butcher, Mark Sanders, Veryan Weston St Anne's Church, Derby Thursday 20 June

6/ Phil Robson Organ Trio 1000 Trades, Birmingham Friday 21 June

Axeman cometh: Derby guitar legend Phil Robson in Brum with Ross Stanley on the Hammond organ and Robson's Partisans amigo Gene ''brother of Joey'' Calderazzo at the kit. So half of the alas-and-alack mothballed Partisans then with Journey to Where miracle maker Stanley winkling out the requisite roogalating and nailing a few nifty footwork moves en route to soulsville and providing the plus factor.

7/ Secret Night Gang Ronnie Scott's, Soho, London Fri 21 June

We loved Secret Night Gang's 'The Sun' in 2021. Out of Manchester the band were founded by singer-songwriter Kemani Anderson who on lead vocals landed in a Stevie Wonder space into the dreaming initially, then journeying into his own sound as your ears get used to the warmth of his voice and the 1970s sound. Songwriter Callum Connell on keys on the track, and bass guitarist Stuart Whitehead – issuing label Brownswood explained at the time that Kemani knew Cal at school playing in the steel band.

8/ QOW Trio Scott's, Belfast Fri 21 June

QOW trio, l-r: Spike Wells, Riley Stone-Lonergan, Eddie Myer photo: Lisa Wormsley

Touring The Hold Up which was the return of the QOW Trio three years on from their self titled debut and which teams legendary Tubby Hayes drummer Spike Wells with two much younger players - bebop loving saxist Riley Stone-Lonergan and equally classic modern-jazz rooted bassist Eddie Myer who has also had a career as an indie rocker with Turin Brakes. A band steeped in 1950s Sonny Rollins, tunes include Stone-Lonergan originals plus pieces by Ellington and Strayhorn, Jackie McLean, Lee Morgan, Thelonious Monk and Big John Patton recording in a London studio after an Irish tour. Close your eyes and imagine you are in a New York loft sometime in the 1950s - it's all part of the spell all delivered with bags full of energy and without a pianist in sight.

• the live recorded BBC broadcasts from Scott's continue on Sunday.

9/ Joe Webb trio The Verdict, Brighton Saturday 22 June

Vintage stylist Joe Webb with the very fine double bassist Will Sach and Sam Jesson down for Brighton. We liked Webb's 2022 Ubuntu knees up of a release Summer Chill that found the talented highly unpretentious tinkler beyond all begrudgery slaloming deliciously in a romper room of an album stuffed full of classics with guitarist Alex Haines, bassist Sach, drummer Jas Kayser, percussionist João Caetano and guesting saxophonist Fraser Smith on the record. Swings like a mother, ('Tweedle Dee' seals that thought) and becomes so horizontal on the Ben Tucker melody line of 'Comin' Home Baby' you may never stand upright ever again.

10/ Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra with Orphy Robinson St Luke's - Glasgow Jazz Festival Sunday 23 June in the afternoon

Black Top legend Orphy Robinson, out of the Dalston, east London scene, a very different place then to today's freedom jazz loving heaven on earth for hipsters scene. The vibist's back catalogue includes a tenure on Blue Note when he released 1990s soul-jazz cult classic - and very different stylistically to the upcoming free-improv setting - The Vibes Describes. The Londoner is appearing in Glasgow with hardcore free improviser locals the GIO. Orphy Robinson, main photo: Ewelina Ruminska
