We're starting 2025 with a bang! Nat Steele will be bringing his Vibes to Jazz at Trades, featuring a stellar trio of Matyas Gayer (Piano) Asaph Tal (Bass) and Mark Hale (Drums) In 2017 Nat launched his debut album, ?Portrait of the Modern Jazz Quartet? on Trio Records, with a sold-out album release concert held at Ronnie Scott?s, followed by 2 years of touring the UK with the quartet. The album was awarded ?Jazz Album of the Month? by BBC Music Magazine, with a plethora of positive reviews in the jazz press, including 4 stars in The Observer and Jazzwise Magazine. It even made it into the top 10 in the jazz charts in Japan. In 2019 he was invited by Grammy-award winning pianist, arranger and composer Alan Broadbent to give the world premier of a new work celebrating the 25th anniversary of Watermill Jazz. In 2020 - just before the pandemic - he completed an 18-date Arts Council funded tour of the UK with the MJQ band featuring guest tenor saxophonist Grant Stewart, who came from New York for 2 weeks to play.
