Adam Glasser/Mike del Ferro Quartet at the 606 Club London Wednesday 30th November 2022

During 2022 the incredibly talented Dutch virtuoso pianist & composer Mike del Ferro has been performing worldwide a program collaborating with different harmonica players celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Toots Thielemans with whom Mike played some 150 concerts all over Europe, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and the Caribbean over a 10-year period. 

Adam Glasser and Mike first met at the Standard Bank Jazz Festival, Grahamstown South Africa. In May this year they renewed their connection in Brussels as contributors to the Toots Thielemans Centenary Conference at the Royal Library (KBR). Adam subsequently performed with Mike’s Trio at the Brussels Jazz Weekend (as described in the recent HUK Magazine).

Mike will be making a one-off trip to London’s 606 Club on Wednesday 30th November 2022 to perform with Adam in a gig celebrating their common love of Toots Thielemans’ harmonica legacy.  Not to be missed!
