Now based in London Kristian studied jazz guitar at Conservatorium Van Amsterdam in the Netherlands and Guildhall School of Music in London.

Kristian brought his Quartet to Kenilworth Jazz Club and gave us a smashing programme of mostly his own compositions with a couple of Jazz Standards thrown in. There were plenty of brand new pieces getting their first airing, prior to recording his next album. See Kristian’s website for further information about the new material.

The Quartet are:

• Kristian Borring – Guitar
• Rick Simpson – Keys
• Mick Coady – Bass
• Will Glaser – Drums

Here are a few photos of the quartet in acrtion
