About / Biography

Duo performing jazz standards, latin and gypsy jazz tunes. Chris Richardson and George Richardson may share the same last name, but are not related by blood, only by a shared love of swing.

The duo can be seen regularly at cable cafe and scooter cafe, joined by other musicians from the London jazz and gypsy jazz scenes.

On piano is Chris Richardson from Basingstoke, a talented musician with extensive cruise ship and wedding experience. He is also an established composer with several solo piano releases and a jazz trio album to his name.

On Double Bass is George Richardson with a background in jazz, folk and middle eastern music. He is a frequent presence in London’s vibrant music scene, working as a session bassist, music teacher, composer and side man to a number of artists such as rapper and producer Hilts, Low Fi Artist Whilst, Jazz Singer Molly Green and Modern Jazz Composer Nadav Schneerson. He runs two long standing jazz jams that continue to draw crowds and musicians alike, as well as providing house band duties for many other jazz venues around London.
