Exploring the music of Charlie Parker: a key figurehead in the development of jazz music. Alan Barnes is one of the UK's finest jazz virtuoso saxophonists, joined by our own house band. Expect to hear Yardbird Suite, Anthropology & Moose The Mooche, alongside some of Parker's favourite standards.

Alan Barnes is one of the UK's finest jazz virtuoso saxophonists; a prolific international performer, composer, arranger, bandleader and touring soloist.  He is best known for his work on clarinet, alto and baritone sax, where he combines a formidable virtuosity with a musical expression and collaborative spirit that have few peers.

"His stylistic range is quite phenomenal… He has a wonderful capacity for suggesting a given style without actually imitating anyone" – Dave Gelly, Masters Of The Jazz Saxophone

"Barnes plays music that was radical 50 years ago but he infuses it with so much passion and energy you could believe it was minted on the spot, which is always part of the story with jazz." – John L. Walters, The Guardian
