Alan Barnes: Kings Of Alto & Baritone Saxophone

Alan Barnes has been recognized as a virtuosic sax/clarinet player, composer, arranger and bandleader for more than 40 years.

The recipient of more than 30 British Jazz Awards, he has twice been named BBC Jazz Musician of the Year and includes work in the UK, Europe and the US with the likes of Michel Legrand, Jamie Cullum & Van Morrison.

Tonight Alan pays tribute to the titans of the alto and baritone saxophones, from the lightning-fast bebop lines of Charlie Parker to the lush, complex harmonic stylings of Gerry Mulligan, the programme will showcase the versatility and expressive power of these instruments.
