Saxophonist (and formerly orthopaedic surgeon) Art began playing Jazz with the Cambridge University Jazz Group alongside Dave Gelly and Dick Heckstall-Smith. He later played with blues masters Alexis Korner and Jack Bruce before embarking on a long time relationship with Stan Tracey, with whom he toured worldwide. Tonight’s band unites some of the leading forces on the contemporary scene to head on to fertile new territory.
‘an appealing presence on the British jazz circuit for over 40 years…’ John Fordham
