Ben Clatworthy Quartet
We welcome the Benn Clatworthy Quartet at the start of a three week UK tour.
Benn is recognised as a truly world class saxophonist who has performed with Herbie Hancock, Cedar Walton and Bobbie Shew. Born in England and tutored by Ronnie Scott, who rated him as one of the best UK players that he had ever heard, Benn has been based in Los Angeles for 40 years.
He possesses the tunefulness of Lester Young and skilfully merges it with the muscular tone of Coleman Hawkins. Like Sony Rollins, he is harmonically adventurous, and is capable of playing at speeds that recall Charlie Parker. He puts all this together with punch, beauty and at times surprising delicacy.
‘Some of the most emotive and creative jazz this side of Sonny Rollins’(Edinburgh Evening News), ‘Gladiator of the sax’ (Manchester Evening News), ‘Sublime’ (Jazz Times).
He is bringing over the amazing pianist Cecelia Coleman, who has played with many outstanding musicians, to join bassist Simon Thorpe and drummer Matt Home.
This will be a very special night so try not to miss it.
2018 Christmas Party

Festival here...
