Alex Clarke with the George King Trio

On Thursday 5th September, Alsager Golf & Country Club Jazz Society are delighted to present saxophonist Alex Clarke with the George King Trio.

As a finalist at the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2020, winner of the Rising Star category in the 2019 British Jazz Awards and Jazz Newcomer of the Year nominee in the 2021 & 2022 Parliamentary Jazz Awards, Clarke is one of the most in-demand and versatile young reeds players to have emerged on the British jazz scene. Praised for her extensive repertoire list and intelligent ear for harmony, Clarke'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. As well as leading her own quartet featuring Dave Newton, Dave Green & Steve Brown, Clarke performs alongside many notable names such as Alan Barnes, Bruce Adams and Art Themen. She also works with prestigious large ensembles such as The Simon Spillett Big Band and The Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra.

Leading the rhythm section will be the versatile and highly creative pianist George King. King's career has led him to perform at venues all over the world, including Carnegie Hall and Glastonbury Festival. His stylistic range covers many musical paths; whether it is a solo free improvisation piano recital, or as a member of Jah Wobble's 'Modern Jazz Ensemble'.

Completing the line-up will be Peter Robinson (bass) & Roger Keay (drums).

It starts at the golf club (ST7 2UR) at 8pm; all are welcome, £7 cash on the door with an optional raffle.
