“Tim Whitehead...the finest tenor player in Britain today”

Jazz Review

PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS A LIVE STREAM

Tim Whitehead is renowned throughout the UK, Europe and the USA as a remarkable performer and composer with a dazzling CV. In the 70’s he toured with Ian Carr’s “Nucleus” and “Graham Collier Music” winning the Young Jazz Musician of the Year Award on the way. In the 80’s he was a member of the ground breaking big band Loose Tubes and in the 90’s he made several critically acclaimed albums, winning The Andrew Milne Award for Jazz, as well as the BBC Music Magazine Jazz Album of the Year. As further testament to his extraordinary talent, in 2009 he was the first ever musician to be made Artist in Residence at Tate Britain, resulting in a number of brilliant gigs, a highly acclaimed album “Colour Beginnings” and a short-listing for the British Composer Of The Year Award. Tim will be sprinkling a selection of recently-composed material into the programme this evening, accompanied by his standout quartet: Jonathan Gee-piano, Andy Cleyndert-bass & Dave Barry-drums. Tim’s muscular yet fluent and highly melodic playing is widely regarded as amongst the finest around and he commands considerable respect throughout the jazz scene.
