About the event
A paen to Alan’s life-long saxophone hero since first hearing the Art Pepper – Discoveries album aged 15, this hand-picked all-star band celebrates the centenary of Art’s birth. Alan reinterprets Art’s many evolving playing styles through the highs and many lows of his life – struggles with addiction, periods in jail and rehabilitation – before a series of successful ‘come-backs’. Pepper died in 1982, an honest musician who played with all his heart and soul.
‘When Art plays, it’s all, all the time.’ - Mary Paich

James Davison - trumpet
