British Jazz legend Alan Barnes (sax and clarinet) teams up with pianist Paul Edis and his trio, featuring Joel Barford (drums) and John Williamson (double bass) to perform new music alongside arrangements of classic repertoire.

Pianist and composer Paul Edis is one of the leading creative musicians in the UK today. With an ever-growing reputation for melodic, groove-based and expressive improvisations and compositions, his music has been played on the radio in the UK, US and in Europe.

“‘A major voice in British Jazz…Edis is an incredibly fertile composer and improviser’” - Jazz Journal

‘One of the leading lights of contemporary jazz’ - London Jazz News

In a career spanning 5 decades, multi award-winning saxophonist and clarinet player Alan Bares has worked alongside the very best in the business, (Wynton Marsalis, Stan Tracey, Van Morrison). He regularly tours the world, appearing both as a guest soloist and leading his own bands, and he continues to compose new music and release new albums.  

“Whether on alto, baritone or tenor, Barnes’ melodic sense bypasses the usual scale-running clichés that pepper the playing of lesser bop disciples” - Peter Marsh, BBC Music Review.

“Whatever the instrument, Alan plays it hard and fast and with the sort of inventive flexibility and invention that ensures that he has his own sound and style and could not be easily be confused with another player. And in these days of musical conformity that is quite something” - Jazz Journal

“His stylistic range is quite phenomenal” - Dave Gelly, Masters of The Jazz Saxophone

Line up:

Alan Barnes – saxophones and clarinet
