Alex Garnett
“Alex Garnett…one of Great Britain’s most accomplished post bop musicians”
All About Jazz
A “musician’s musician” Alex Garnett has enjoyed a varied musical career as both a pro jazz artist and an in-demand session and studio saxophonist. His powerful, flowing, hard bop sax style has been heard with some of Europe's leading bands and creative jazz ensembles, and it is testament to his reputation that Alex is also one of the few headlining UK jazz musicians in the current Ronnie Scott’s All Stars pool. He is the sideman of choice for many of the finest visiting artists and has himself performed in over 30 countries worldwide with artists such as Sir John Dankworth, Wynton Marsalis, Peter King, Van Morrison and Jools Holland. Tonight he is appearing with his straight-ahead jazz quartet featuring Tom Cawley-piano, Sam Burgess-bass and Chris Higginbottom-drums, describing the music as “bringing the hard grooving swing tradition of days gone by into a more contemporary 21st century setting”.
