*The Art Themen Quartet: *
Award winning Art Themen has a quirky and very original style of playing. He is one of Britain’s leading tenor saxophonists, having been a legend on the British jazz scene for over 50 years, famously combining his role as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon with saxophone duties in the bands of Alexis Korner and Stan Tracey among many others. A true ‘Dr Jazz’ Art has been described by the Observer as: “One of the tiny handful of undeniably perfect jazz musicians …”, as he remains as brilliant and inimitable as ever! For this show Art will be with the acclaimed pianist Kate Williams, the noted bassist Paul Morgan (NYJO, BBC Radio Orchestra) and top drummer, Dave Barry.
8.30pm (Doors 8.00pm) Tickets £14 in advance & £16 on the door
