Kyle Eastwood Band

Kyle Eastwood has inherited his famous actor/director father's good looks, charm and determination. Raised on the sounds of Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Miles Davis, playing jazz was a natural career choice for Kyle.

Kyle won the International Bassist of the Year Award at Ronnie Scott's against stiff competition. Winners in other categories were Van Morrison, Amy Winehouse and Jamie Cullum.

His critically acclaimed Paris Blue, a great swing album, climbed to no 1 in the French jazz charts while his latest recording Now is an ambitious jazz mix that ranges from deepest funk to cool electronic grooves. Kyle is a classy performer together with his extremely talented band from the USA featuring Kyle Eastwood (Brass), Michael Stevens (Guitar), Andrew McCormack (Keys), Martyn Kaine (Drums), Richard Beesley (Saxes) and Quentin Collins (Trumpet).
