Event information

“Kofi deals not so much with the past as with the eternal truths of jazz music - swing, in-the-moment lyricism, the lust for life - and he continues to find compelling ways to express them.” - All About Jazz

Award-winning and internationally recognized saxophonist Tony Kofi teams up with the 'Organisation' to perform a hard-hitting selection of tunes in blues, jazz and funk idioms, including many under-acknowthe ledged classics by likes of Woody Shaw, George Russell. Joe Henderson and Duke Pearson.

His many accolades include: Best Instrumentalist at the 2008 BBC Jazz awards; Best Ensemble at the 2005 Parliamentary Jazz Awards; Radio 3 Jazz line-up album of the year at the 2005 BBC Jazz awards; a MOBO nomination in 2008.

With the stunning Pete Whittaker on the Hamond B3 organ, the gifted and versatile Pete Cater on drums and the excellent Simon Fernsby on guitar, expect “a killer band with real bite, especially when the heat was on” - Jazzwise
