Andy Sheppard is one of Britain’s foremost tenor and soprano saxophonists, and one of the few British solo musicians to play in the big bands of all three of the greatest post-war jazz composers - Carla Bley, George Russell and Gil Evans.

 

A serial collaborator, he has worked with some of the biggest names in jazz and is in huge demand for both his composing and for his legendary live performances. 

 

This concert features works from his new album, Surrounded by Sea (ECM) and sees Andy joined by Eivind Aarset (guitar and electronics), Michel Benita (bass) and Michele Rabbia (drums).
