The next Music at St Leonard’s concert, on Saturday 21 st March, will feature 

The Pete Letanka Jazz Trio.

Many villagers will remember Pete as a schoolboy at the village school when his GP father was the family doctor to many of us: back in the 1980s when such doctors were the norm.

Since then, Pete has developed as a talented musician and band leader; composing, teaching and presenting jazz and other genres at many venues across the world. 

The trio he brings to Flamstead features himself on piano accompanied by Sam Burgess on double bass

and George Double on drums.  

Pete is signed to the award-winning record label “Zephyr Records” who released his album “Afrostocracy” to critical acclaim.  He has enjoyed performing at Ronnie Scott’s, the Royal Festival Hall and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. 

George Double (drums) has played and recorded with Dame Shirley Bassey and Grammy Award Winner Jack Jones. while Sam

Burgess (double bass) is a member of the Ronnie Scott’s house band and has writing and recording credits with household names such as Robbie Williams and Van Morrison.
