Jo Fooks with Neil Burns Organ Trio

Event information

Two great London-based musicians, Jo Fooks on Tenor Saxophone and Buster Birch on Drums. They’ll be joined by Martin Jenkins on Organ and Neil Burns on Guitar for a night of hard swinging Jazz.

Jo Fooks is a former Young Scottish Jazz Musician of the Year, and a member of legendary British trumpeter Humphrey Lyttelton's band. Citing his “fun-filled and melodic” approach as a major influence, Jo’s big, bright sound has drawn favourable comparisons to players such as Stan Getz and Zoot Sims. Other notable collaborations includes playing with some of the finest mainstream bands and artists, including Jo Harrop and Scott Hamilton.

“A brilliantly inventive player and composer” Humphrey Lyttelton
