Not to be missed. Superb. I must’ve missed this one being advertised. Am definitely going to book tickets later for this.

The best jazzman in UK IMO. His range of styles and emotions is amazing. He has been a great influence on the British jazz scene in addition to his regular international tours.
Challenging stuff but,if you like to see the roof lift off, he’s your man. Not to be missed.
