The Quartet is......Jim Hall Piano / Keyboards Keith Tulip The Basses Martin Wake Drums / Percussion John Hall Saxophones (Tenor/Alto/Soprano) Jim's Latin influence comes from Hilton Ruiz the Afro Cuban jazz pianist who was born in New York. After seeing Hilton ‘live’ at Ronnie Scott’s club in
the early nineties he decided from that moment on jazz, especially “in your
face” Latin jazz, was the way forward for him. Jim has had a varied musical career playing both trumpet
and piano. There are some interesting facts about Jim's past on Ready Steady Gone,. ___________________________ Keith’s musical experiences have been both varied and incredibly busy playing everything from Rock ‘n’ Roll, Blues, Rock and Pop, Jazz, Bluegrass, Country.
