Mark Bassey

Mark Bassey is a jazz trombonist, composer, arranger, educator and band leader, known for his irrepressible stage presence as well as his consummate skill as a musician. His virtuosic playing shines across multiple styles from swing and bop to contemporary, proven by his far-ranging credits that include: Loose Tubes, Brotherhood of Breath, Stan Tracey, Cleo Laine, Alan Barnes, Liane Carroll, Nikki Iles and the BBC Big Band.

A revered educator, Mark has associations nationwide with institutions including the Royal Academy and Guildhall School of Music, the City Lit and Birmingham Conservatoire, alongside his own programme, Jazz Nuts and Bolts. He has also released two albums as a bandleader and runs both Sussex Jazz and the Jazz Jamboree Orchestras.

This promises to be an uplifting night of pure music-making from one of the scene’s most committed and talented players.

About Us

We present world-class jazz concerts, two Thursdays a month, open to all: no membership required. 

Our concerts take place in the comfortable lounge bar at Eltham Warren Golf Club, which is within walking distance of Eltham town centre and has its own free car park right outside.

We are named after the formidable Hugh & Marion Ockendon, who promoted live jazz in Eltham for over 32 years! Hugh, a classically trained pianist with a deep love of jazz, sadly died in 2020, followed by Marion, a cabaret artist and band vocalist, in October 2022.

Hugh & Marion’s legacy now continues under the stewardship of multi-award-winning vocalist, lyricist and producer Georgia Mancio (Alan Broadbent, ReVoice! Festival, Bobby McFerrin) and acclaimed drummer Dave Ohm (Ian Shaw, Benny Golson, Gregory Porter).
