In the final concert of our series, Jake McMurchie joins The Adam Stokes Trio in paying
tribute to the brilliant, innovative and uncompromising Sonny Rollins. The band will play a
selection of the great saxophonist’s originals and arrangements from across his career from the Prestige and Blue Note recordings to his collaboration with the late great guitarist Jim Hall and beyond.

Jake McMurchie (Get The Blessing, Michelson Morley, Jazz Defenders) is one of the UK’s top
Saxophonists, he has performed with Bobby Shew, Pee Wee Ellis, Portishead, Massive Attack
and many more. He was awarded the BBC Jazz Awards Album of the year in 2008 (for Get the Blessing’s debut album), has been described as “a very, very good saxophonist. Very original, very passionate” by BBC Radio 3, “his sensual tone falling somewhere between early Sonny Rollins and Pink-Panther tenorist Plas Johnson.” (London Evening Standard)
