Art Themen

We are delighted to welcome Art back to the club, stepping in for Tony Kofi, who is now unable to play this date. 

A previous winner in the tenor sax category of the British Jazz awards, and a recent recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Worshipful Company of Musicians, Art has been featured with virtually everyone on the UK jazz scene.

He toured the world fronting Stan Tracey’s quartet for 20 years and has also played alongside numerous American legends including: Philly Joe Jones, George Coleman, Red Rodney, Bud Shank, Nat Adderley, Arturo Sandoval and Scott Hamilton. Outside of the jazz scene he has accompanied such diverse artists as Mick Jagger, George Harrison, Rod Stewart, Jack Bruce, Joe Cocker, Chuck Berry and Bing Crosby.

Tonight he features organ player Pete Whittaker (Art Themen, Filthy Six, John Etheridge) in a blues-soaked Trio with guest vocals from Georgia Mancio (Alan Broadbent, Ian Shaw, Kate Williams).
