Soon to be graduates of the prestigious postgraduate jazz programme at the Royal Academy of Music, pianist Will Barry and saxophonist Alex Hitchcock share a musical history that goes back over ten years. Between them, they have played as sidemen with many major figures from the UK jazz scene and beyond, including Jasper Hoiby, Laurence Cottle, Soweto Kinch and Perico Sambeat.
In this new duo format, they explore each other’s original compositions as well as other repertoire ranging from the Yellowjackets to Lennie Tristano.
Tickets for this event, and the other concerts in the series, cost £10. Only 30 tickets are available for each show. Visit conscia.org to book.
