Multi award winning saxophonist, Courtney Pine, has done more for the profile of modern British jazz than almost any other figure. Some 24 years since his 1986 debut album made the British Top 40, he remains at the forefront of the UK jazz scene, continually pushing at boundaries and reinterpreting the tradition.

For his latest project Transition in Tradition, the original Jazz Warrior has assembled a heavyweight musical line-up drawing influences from Africa, the Caribbean, South America and Europe for an exuberant homage to the first great saxophone star Sidney Bechet. The resulting album and live shows have earned him some of the highest critical acclaim of his long and varied career.

With bass clarinet, harmonium and mandolin in the mix, plus an ever evolving groove - from old school swing to Creole stomp - Pine serves up a rich gumbo of jazz flavours for his live show at Stockwood.
Not to be missed!
