These include the Paul Dunmall Octet (with whom he has recorded two CD’s, a Radio 3 broadcast and toured Britain), Ultrasound and Keith Tippett’s Tapestry. Gethin has also appeared in a Duke Ellington tribute with Loren Scheonberg and Scott Hamilton.
Pianist Joe Webb and drummer Lloyd Haines first appeared on the Cardiff scene as participants in Cardiff Jazz Society’s “New Generation” jazz course.
