DAN REINSTEIN Every now and again excellent players appear at the Club who also manage to be very good at something else. Art Theman (surgeon) is one, Spike Wells (priest) is another, and now we can add saxophonist Dan Reinstein to that list. American born but British educated, I first met Dan at the old Club when he was a medical undergraduate. Even then he was an impressive player, and after taking time off his medical studies to go to the Berklee School of Music he became even better. “Dr. Dan”, as he was affectionately known, stayed in London for a while after qualifying, before going back to the USA in the early 90’s, where he became one of the world’s leading experts in laser eye surgery. But he never stopped playing, and when he returned to London to live it was great to hear his fluent, classic hard-bop, muscular sax playing again.
DILL KATZ is appearing later with his regular quartet, playing the more contemporary side of the spectrum. Dill, frequently referred to as a "bass legend", is one of the most experienced players on the scene today, having pioneered the use of the electric bass in the mid sixties, and whose work includes stints with Ian Carr's "Nucleus", Barbara Thompson's band "Paraphernalia" and Afro/Jazz band "District Six".
