A fantastically exciting, playful and inventive saxophonist, Art Themen. Described by The Observer as "One of the tiny handful of undeniably perfect jazz musicians" Art Themen has been an appealing presence on the British jazz circuit for over 60 years. A previous winner of the tenor sax category in the British Jazz Awards, recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Worshipful Company of Musicians and shortlisted for the Jazz Instrumentalist of the year in the recent Parliamentary Jazz Awards, this living legend has famously combined his role as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with saxophone duties in the bands of Alexis Korner and Stan Tracey as well as recordings with Joe Cocker, Jack Bruce and even Bing Crosby.
Themen's organ trio features organist Pete Whittaker, formerly of The Nigel Price Organ Trio, and drummer George Double who has worked as sideman to Shirley Bassey and Jack Jones. The band's groove-led re-imaginings of quirky curiosities from the jazz canon act as a perfect vehicle for the twinkly mischief of this genuine grandee of British jazz and have delighted crowds at Ronnie Scott's, The Royal Albert Hall's Elgar Room, Pizza Express Dean St and across the UK.

"Themen, a veteran master now, in such eloquent form" – Peter Vacher, JAZZWISE
"MagisterialArt's version of Willow Weep For Me is enthralling" –Jack Kenny, JAZZ VIEWS
