Join us for Friday Night Jazz at the Atrium Bar & Restaurant, President Hotel, Russell Square. On 25 September, we are delighted to present the outstanding saxophonist Rob Townsend, accompanied by Soner Ersen (piano), Steve Watts (bass), and Tim Giles (drums).

Rob Townsend is one of the UK's most respected saxophonists, composers and arrangers, renowned for his versatility and distinctive musical voice. He has performed with leading jazz artists including Eddie Henderson, Sam Rivers, Django Bates, Mark Lockheart, Iain Ballamy and Tim Garland, while also working with Steve Hackett, Bill Bruford, Rick Wakeman and Robbie Williams. As a composer, Rob has written music for television, documentaries and award-nominated productions, alongside scores for major companies including Sony, Disney and Supermassive Games. His expressive playing, inventive improvisation and broad musical experience have established him as a distinctive voice on the British jazz scene.

Expect an evening of modern jazz featuring lyrical melodies, adventurous improvisation and outstanding musical interplay from four exceptional musicians.

To enjoy the full experience of the evening, we recommend arriving before 7:30 PM to allow time to be seated, order your food and drinks, and settle in comfortably before the music begins at 8:00 PM.

If you expect to arrive after 8:00 PM, please email londonjazzstage@gmail.com in advance so we can note your arrival time and do our best to arrange suitable seating.
