FRIDAY 31st JANUARY 2025 ART THEMEN (saxophone)

FRIDAY 31st JANUARY 2025

A perennial favourite at the Jazz Café, Art Themen is the elder statesman of British jazz. Since the sixties R&B boom Art has been at the forefront of the UK jazz scene. His influences range from Coleman Hawkins to Dexter Gordon but his tone and style are unique. Having retired as an orthopaedic surgeon, Art devotes his time to performing and he continues to explore and entertain.
“Themen’s tone is unique too: soft-edged but insistent…” Dave Gelly, The Guardian
Art Themen will be accompanied by the Andy Urquhart Quartet
