Available to hire

 

The pianist and keyboard player studied at Blackheath Conservatoire, Keele University and at the Guildhall School Of Music And Drama. He has worked with some of the worlds most highly regarded musicians and has toured USA, Europe and Australia. He has performed with Sir Tom Jones, Jack Bruce with the BBC Big Band, The Cinematic Orchestra, Seb Rochford and Matthew Herbert. In the fall of 2008 he composed music for and directed The F-ire Collective Large Ensemble, a sixteen-piece big band, during a short UK tour. His own band Clown Revisited has performed widely around the U.K.
Solo piano

His solo piano set ranges from boogie-woogie, cool jazz, bossanova through to contemporary songs. He plays songbook classics by Rogers and Hammerstein, Gershwin, Cole Porter, Billy Strayhorn and by Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Tom Jobim and Elton John. He also plays Debussy and Chopin and has an extensive range of Serge Gainsbourg and Marlena Deitrich classics.

Nick Ramm, Zhenya Strigalev Duo/Quartet

Saxophone virtuoso Zhenya Strigalev has performed in Kremlin in Moscow and the Purcell Room in London and he received a full scholarship to attend the Royal Academy Of Music. Since graduating he has formed an essential part of the local jazz scene. The couple met in the now defunct central London club 'Shinos' and the excellent rapport between Strigalev and Ramm was born. Performing jazz and latin classics, as well as some original material, this duo realizes the previously unexplored potential of a St Petersburg and London jazz sound.

Fiona Staniland Duo

As well as singing jazz standards and bossanovas, Fiona has her own theatre company F'eatre. She has produced two shows: 'Je T'aime Serge Gainsbourg' and 'Darlene Mietrich - The One Who Didn't Make It To Hollywood'. Her entrancing voice has led her to perform at Spitz, Pizza Express and at Lattitude Festival, Ludlow Festival and Guardian Hey Festival. The Duo have performed together at the Ritzy Cinemas in Greenwich and Brixton, at Baltic Restaurant in Southwark, at the Old Vic Theatre's ground floor bar and at weddings, parties and corporate events up and down the country.
