A Tribute to Grant Green

If you are looking for a relaxed way to spend a Friday evening in Brighton, there is a tribute to the jazz guitarist Grant Green coming up on June 12, 2026. The event is taking place at The Rock Inn Kemptown, located at 7 Rock Street, and it focuses on celebrating the specific sound and style that defined Green’s career. It is a straightforward live music performance that aims to highlight his approach to jazz, which often leaned into groove and a lyrical quality that many guitarists still study today.

The performance is scheduled to run from 19:30 until 22:30. The setup for the night features three guitarists, Jason Henson, Paul Burke, and Lionel Philippe, who will be backed by a rhythm section. It is a fairly intimate setting, which fits the venue well, and it is designed for people who enjoy jazz, blues, and funk. The entry price is set at 8.00 pounds for a standard ticket.

It is worth noting that while there has been some conflicting information circulating online regarding the date, the event is confirmed for June 12. If you have seen mentions of a May date, those are incorrect and refer to a time that has already passed. The Rock Inn Kemptown provides a pub environment for this, so it should be a relatively low-key atmosphere compared to larger concert halls. Whether you are a long-time fan of Grant Green’s recordings or just appreciate live guitar music in a local setting, this is the information available for the upcoming show.
