"To become an outstanding performer on one instrument is tough enough - to manage it on two instruments as Jim Hart has done is quite remarkable. I'm certain that Jim's skills as drummer and vibraphone specialist, allied to his energy and creativity, will ensure that he emerges as one of the brightest stars on the UK and European Jazz scene."
