More Great Jazz Tunes with Mark Nightingale & Alan Barnes Sextet

Tuesday November 28

More Great Jazz Tunes
with Mark Nightingale
& Alan Barnes Sextet

Pizza Express Jazz  Club, Dean Street, Soho, London

Following the massively successful SELL OUT concert at Dean St in March, back by overwhelming demand are two multi- award winning giants of British Jazz  - Mark Nightingale on trombone and Alan Barnes on saxophones.  

The 20th Century spanned 100 years of Creative Great Jazz Tunes: original, unique, long lasting,  jazz compositions. 

Whilst jazz musicians were, and continue to be, ready to improvise and syncopate melodies and chord sequences, originally written as songs -  and many from Broadway shows, the greatest Jazz numbers were composed and arranged specifically as vehicles for instrumental jazz giants.
