BRITAIN'S top vibraphone player Anthony Kerr is lined up to make a welcome return to Marlow Jazz Club. The award winning Belfast born musician will be at the Royal British Legion Hall on Tuesday, July 10, along with the resident Frank Toms Trio. Anthony came to attention with Georgie Fame's Blue Flames, with whom he still often plays, but his talent and an amazing four mallet technique on this rare instrument have made him a big solo star.
