ALAN BARNES and DAVID NEWTON have been playing duets for some forty-two years. These multiple award winning musicians cover a vast repertoire from Louis Armstrong to Chick Corea and have developed an incredible empathy and telepathic sympathy which only comes from their long experience together. David is one of the greatest solo jazz pianists this country has ever produced and Alan is a multi-reed musician playing all the saxes, clarinet and bass clarinet. Together with ADAM KING, bass and MATT FISHWICK, drums, the emphasis, as always, is on swinging, accessibility and interplay. Expect a hugely entertaining programme of straight ahead jazz flawlessly played and interspersed with lots of anecdotes peppered with humour.
