I’ve had the great pleasure of knowing – and playing alongside – my great friend KAREN SHARP for quite a few years and this, to my delight, will be another opportunity at our favourite club! And don’t forget you cn come and see her FREE OF CHARGE tonight! Karen’s melodic, full-toned saxophone playing has won the British Jazz Awards for best tenor saxophonist on numerous occasions and she also appeared as a nominee in the rising star category of the American Downbeat Critics Poll for baritone sax in 2018 and 2019 – an international achievement! Her career originally took off when she was asked to join Humphrey Lyttelton’s band with whom she toured the UK and Europe for four years and currently she leads her premier-league quartet featuring Nikki Iles, Dave Green and Steve Brown – a band due to celebrate its 15th anniversary in 2025. To make sure of a seat to hear this great player call (01702) 468123 (after 2pm) and Karen, the Rat Pack Trio – and me – all look forward to seeing you!
