A key figure on the British jazz scene since the late 1970s, Alan Barnes' strong tone, assured improvisations and imaginative arranging technique have marked him out as one of the country's top players, respected by both his audience and fellow players alike. Alan Barnes is a key figure on the British jazz scene and has won numerous awards, including the prestigious BBC Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year award in 2001 and 2006. It is a delight to invite him back to the Festival with his all-star octet playing new arrangements of Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn gems.| 13 May 09 | Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk Performance Details => Venue archive |
