Simon Wyrsch with special guest Howard Alden
Swiss-born clarinettist Simon Wyrsch has, over the last few years, established himself as an international artist of considerable renown. His fluent and enormously impressive playing has been heard in over 30 countries worldwide, and he is both “Global Jazz Clarinet Ambassador” and Jazz Chairman for the International Clarinet Association. Tonight Simon will be performing classic Jazz standards with the brilliant US musician Howard Alden. Widely regarded as one of the finest jazz guitarists in the US, Downbeat featured Howard in their celebrated list of the “Top 75 Jazz Guitarists of All Time”.
