Alan Barnes and Gilad Atzmon, two of Britain's most celebrated saxophonists, join forces for a special performance at Hideaway. Expect an evening of humour and superb music by a hand-chosen band of jazz stars!
Despite their different backgrounds and approaches, the two horn men share a passion for performance, a healthy sense of competition and a firm belief that a jazz audience is there to be entertained. Between them, they have come up with daring new arrangements, giving the American songbook a good shaking, digging into their bop and post-bop bags and coming up with some barrel-scrapingly outrageous originals.
Line Up: Gilad Atzmon & Alan Barnes (Saxes and Clarinets), Yaron Stavi (Bass), Frank Harrison (Keys), Ted Carrasco (Drums).
