"No doubting his awesome authority when he touches the guitar" – The Guardian
Led by guitar legend John Etheridge, the Blue Spirits Trio includes Pete Whittaker (organ) & George Double (drums).
John Etheridge rightly enjoys a glowing reputation throughout the jazz world and beyond and has been described by Pat Metheny as, "One of the best guitarists in the world". He is a prodigiously gifted and creative player whose approach to music can only be described as eclectic, his range being well illustrated by his years of touring and recording with Stephane Grappelli while simultaneously doing likewise with the legendary jazz-fusion group, The Soft Machine.
The Blue Spirits Trio came about through John's love of electric guitar and organ combined, and a desire for a vehicle for the bluesier side of John's playing. There are plenty of typical swing elements, augmented by soulful ballads, fiery funk outings all presented with warm humour by John. The band has been popular on the club circuit for many years and always delivers.
