A
gig
held at The Bristol Fringe
on Tuesday 24th February. The event starts at 20:00.
Join us for the second installment of our new monthly Jazz club as we welcome renowned saxophonist Alex Clarke. Alex will join Ruth Hammond and Matt Brown for a rare organ trio outing, performing Alex's arrangements of a carefully selected set of Jazz Standards.
Alex is one of the most in-demand and versatile saxophonists on the British jazz scene, praised for her intelligent ear for harmony and a deep knowledge of repertoire, Alex's sound is steeped in the tradition of bebop. Her total respect for the heritage of the music can be heard in a fiery, melodic approach inspired by the likes of Phil Woods, Cannonball Adderley and Vincent Herring. Alex was winner of the Rising Star category of the 2019 British Jazz Awards, was finalist in the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the year 2020 and nominated for the 2021 and 2022 Parliamentary Jazz Awards.
