Babtiste Herbin
We are delighted to welcome one of the world’s leading alto saxophonists. Baptiste Herbin lives in Paris and performs regularly at jazz festivals and saxophone conventions around the world.
He has released three critically acclaimed albums under his own name and is featured on many top artists’ albums for his virtuosic world class playing. His influences include Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley, Coleman Ornette and John Coltrane but also classical composers like Debussy, Ravel and Bach.
Saxophonist Jim Corry writes, ‘Baptiste is visiting the UK as part of a short tour across the north of England. This is a rare opportunity for people to hear one of the best saxophonists in the world. He really is that good!!!’ Top French drummer Andre Cecerelli says ‘Baptiste, he has everything. It's crazy, everything! The sound, the phrasing, the musicality, the groove .... It's a phenomenon.’
Touring with Baptiste are Jamil Sheriff (piano), Jack Garside (bass) and Dave Walsh (drums).
