The Roger Beaujolais Spin Quartet

Thursday 12th May 2022

The Spin is delighted to welcome back after all too long, one of its favourite musicians; Roger has regularly blown away audiences at the Spin, dating back to the club’s very early days.

Roger is a player that one could look to in defining the word ‘virtuosic’; his ability is ferocious - but this doesn’t at all mean that he can’t also coax beautiful harmonies and sweet melodies from the instrument! He is one of only a few vibes players that has really mastered the art of playing with four mallets. Roger’s ability on the vibraphone, coupled with his consummate musicianship has led him to an international career which has been (and continues to be) both varied and prolific in its output.

His own projects have ranged from Acid Jazz to straight-ahead and he has been hired to perform or record with such diverse A-listers as Robert Plant, Morrisey, Kirsty MacColl and Snowboy! In the jazz field, Roger has worked with almost everybody at the top of the UK jazz scene and currently leads a top-notch trio based in Italy.

As probably the most groovesome vibraphone player in the country, expect……a very groovesome night (in quartet - also featuring the ’new jazz generation’ master of the bass, Louis Stringer!)
