Sam Chaplin Jazz Quartet

A jazz concert at Toulouse Lautrec in London, led by trumpeter and vocalist Sam Chaplin with the Sam Chaplin Jazz Quartet. The programme mixes standards with original songs by Chaplin.

Trumpeter and vocalist Sam Chaplin leads the Sam Chaplin Jazz Quartet, a four-piece group of jazz musicians. The material for the evening draws on the music of Ray Charles, Nat King Cole and Chet Baker, alongside Chaplin's own songs, which are described as warm, humane and humorous.

The set moves between slow ballads, swing numbers and audience singalongs, with spoken storytelling between the pieces. Chaplin is the bandleader and frontman, and the other three players are described as accomplished musicians.

Toulouse Lautrec is a venue at 140 Newington Butts in London that mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on jazz. The venue also has a ground-floor restaurant, so guests can eat there before or after the performance.
