Alan Barnes at Buxton 2025 Jazz Festival
Alan Barnes ‘Works of Art’
A Celebration of Art Pepper’s Centenary
This all-star band celebrates the centenary of Art Pepper’s birth in 1925. Art’s alto sax playing … was clear, virtuosic and accurate – a beautiful, fresh, full-of-life sound that danced over time in a light and subtle yet intensely probing way. From that moment, one thing was clear: that was how the alto saxophone should be played.
