I am over the moon to announce that we will have the release of my latest album ‘Colin Steele Quartet play The Blue Nile’ in June on Marina Records.

There will be a launch gig that month in Glasgow, the home of The Blue Nile, details for this will be released in a couple of weeks. Our Blue Nile concert at last year’s Edinburgh Jazz Festival was a total joy, and I’m really proud of this recording. Here is a short video I put together with some footage from that concert.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Later in the summer I will also be doing 2 shows during the Edinburgh Fringe, both at The Jazz Bar in Edinburgh.

First I’ll be playing the music of Miles Davis with my quintet from 13th to 17th August at 9pm. We’ve been doing this gig for years and it sells out every night, if you haven’t been along, please try to come, I honestly don’t think you’ll get a better modern jazz club atmosphere anywhere in the world. Then between 20th-24th August I will be once again teaming up with my great friend Martin Kershaw to play the music of Stan Getz and Chet Baker, 7pm start. The band includes Dave Milligan on piano and Max Popp on drums, our series of gigs last year went phenomenally well and I genuinely can’t wait to do it all again!

​

That’s all for now folks, hope to catch you over the summer, as always thanks so much for your support!
