Speakeasy Scotland Ltd is proud to present two of the hottest ‘old time’ swing jazz musicians of todayA debut for Canadian Pianist Chris Parrish and a welcome back for Colombian guitarist Lorenzo Cortes

Chris Parrish, a pianist from Chicago, IL, began playing the piano at a young age in Indianapolis. He demonstrated a strong interest in self-learning and chose to teach himself, rather than taking formal lessons. Today, Chris is a proudly self-taught musician, capable of playing a wide range of styles with equal zeal and proficiency.

Lorenzo Cortes is a vivacious swing guitarist in the style of Charlie Christian, and since moving to France has made a solid name for himself as a pivotal player on the vibrant Paris jazz scene.
These two are ‘ones to watch’ on the early jazz scene -  an upbeat high energy night of 1930s swing is guaranteed
