The Dave O’Higgins Group

About

Leading sax player brings an exciting evening of jazz sounds

The Dave O’Higgins Group is at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts on Friday 24 October at 8pm. Tickets are £17.50. His tenor and soprano sax sounds are highly personal and recognisable, with a clear sense of melodic adventure.

Dave O’Higgins is a popular performer with the public, with an excellent sense of pacing and presentation. He has a wide palette from Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon, John Colttrane, Joe Henderson through to Stanley Turrentine and Michael Brecker. He has relentlessly pursued artistic and sonic exploration and development with a deep respect for the tradition of the music.

Dave is a highly regarded educator at the London College of Contemporary Media, where he is the Jazz Pathway leader. He also runs a small specialist jazz recording studio, in search of the optimum way of recording jazz musicians through a combination of old techniques (a la Rudy Van Gelder) and newer innovations.

Dave has worked with some of the world’s finest musicians, including: Joey Calderazzo, Joe Locke, Dave Kikowski, Grant Stewart and many more. He has appeared with Frank Sinatra at the Royal Albert Hall in 1992, and toured with Ray Charles. He has also released 20 CDs and wrote and produced the last Matt Bianco album.

Don’t miss this exceptional night of jazz, as Dave brings his tour to the Norden Farm Jazz Club this October.
