Fantastic jazz piano player, John Critchinson (known as Critch) was born John William Frank Critchinson on December 24th, 1934 in London.
He has played with everybody in the London jazz scene, so I just can include the bands and lineups that I´ve been able to trace, but I´m sure I´m missing dozens of bands. So, any help with additional info would be very welcomed.
