The Puzzle House Band presents:–
A Tribute to Blue Note Records.
The iconic record label has produced so much brilliant music over the years. Music from, for example, Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Joe Henderson et al. Jazz musicians just love to get together and play this music. So we’ve put together a fantastic group of musicians, led by bassist Baxter, who will raise the Puzzle’s roof.
Rich Jones - Keyboards
Paul Baxter - Double bass
Steve Hanley - drums
Stanley Lawrence -Trumpet
Kyran Matthews - Tenor saxophone
Paul Baxter
Baxter's bass playing has everything: propulsive in ensembles and dextrous in solos. His arco (bowing) achieves a singing, sonorous elegance that’s a real treat to listen to.
Kyran Matthews
Saxophonist Matthews is an eclectic musician whose career has spanned many genres.
Taking his influence from the transcendent intensity of such seminal artists as John Coltrane, Joe Henderson and Kenny Garrett, his playing has been described as “powerful and majestic”(The Jazz Mann), “explosive” (Jazz Views) with “thunderous lines” (Jez Nelson).

For those who may be unsure of the public transport situations, here are some useful details.

Trains:
If you’re travelling towards Halifax / Bradford / Leeds, the last train leaves Sowerby Bridge at 00.05.

If you’re travelling up the Calder Valley, and onwards to Manchester, the last train leaves Sowerby Bridge at 23.23.

Please allow 5 minutes to walk from the station to puzzle and 15 minutes to walk from the pub to the station, and please check, on the day of travel, that the times have not changed, or that strike actions are being planned.

Bus:
There’s a 579 bus to Halifax that leaves Station Road at 23.48, just a few minutes’ walk from the Pub,
however, give yourself plenty of time, as it’s the last bus, it can be pretty sharp in setting off.
