Live Jazz London

Influences: Cannonball Adderley, Ronnie Scott, Johnny Griffin

Derek Nash plays tenor and soprano saxophone, and leads this acoustic quartet with a warm, swinging sound rooted in hard bop and soul jazz. He is one of the most in-demand saxophonists on the British scene, known for his long association with Madness and his work across the London jazz circuit. The acoustic format strips the sound back to pure groove and melodic improvisation.
