Saxophonist and clarinettist Mark Crooks is a member of the superb Back To Basie Orchestra and the celebrated John Wilson Orchestra with whom he regularly performs at the BBC Proms. He was the featured clarinet soloist in the TV special A Swingin’ Christmas and on the John Wilson Orchestra Gershwin in Hollywood album, recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall in 2016. He has performed with artists ranging from Tony Bennett to Sir Simon Rattle, Lady Gaga to Dame Cleo Laine and at venues including Ronnie Scotts in London and the Lincoln Center in New York.
This concert featuring Mark’s stellar quintet features repertoire from the glorious era of jazz and swing shaped by great American masters such as Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw and Duke Ellington. This is a homage to a much-loved era, preserving the musical heritage of this unforgettable music through original arrangements.
We are delighted to present this event in collaboration with The Shelford Feast
