Kyle, eldest son of Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood, brings his band to The Venue at Leeds College of Music next Wednesday with two acclaimed albums to his credit and a burgeoning reputation as a composer of music for films.

Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby are among his credits and he is contributing material for his father's forthcoming Second World War epic, Flags Of Our Fathers.

At the LCM, he will be the pulse of a fiery jazz/ funk sextet.

Wakefield Jazz celebrates its 21st anniversary tonight with a reunion of the celebrity- laden Bootleg Eric Band which recorded a CD at
the club in 1997.

Bootleg Eric is the name given by drummer Clark Tracey to Eric Parkin, who has been in charge of the sound at the club since
1988 and has a massive archive of recorded performances.

Sadly, Eric suffered a heart attack last week and, although recovering, may not be able to attend tonight's performance which would have been
his 500th, and final, recording.

Club regulars look forward to seeing his familiar figure in the
near future.

An attractive weekend of jazz at the National Centre for Early Music in York begins tonight with the Rob Lavers Quartet and continues tomorrow with Toni Kofi's quartet.

Two guitar virtuosos, John Williams and John Etheridge, join forces on Sunday afternoon, leaving the evening to Tatenda and the University of York jazz band.
