Craig was born in Bexley, Kent and took piano lessons from the ages of 7 -12, but has no formal jazz training. Craig’s main influences are Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans and his jazz interest was spawned by his fathers record collection, initially the Boogie Woogie pianists and then Oscar and Ella. Craig began performing in public as young as 10 years of age, but it was not until he was 21 that he turned professional. Since then, Craig has played with many of the most famous names in Jazz, including Pete Allen Jazz Band, Terry Lightfoot’s Jazz Band, Digby Fairweather’s eclectic group Dig’s Half Dozen, clarinettist Julian Stringle, George Melly, Paul Jones to mention but a few.

“A master of whatever he chooses to perform, a truly great British Trio” Humphrey Lyttleton.
