Alan Barnes Plays Charlie Parker - Jazz In The Cellar Bar

Archived Event

Part of our Jazz In The Cellar Bar Series

Charlie Parker was one of the most important figureheads in the development of jazz music, pioneering the ‘bebop’ style. This quartet comes together to explore the Parker catalogue of compositions, which include Yardbird Suite, Anthropology & Moose The Mooche.

Alan Barnes is one of the UK’s finest jazz virtuoso saxophonists; a prolific international performer, composer, arranger, bandleader and touring soloist.  He is best known for his work on clarinet, alto and baritone sax, where he combines a formidable virtuosity with a musical expression and collaborative spirit that have few peers. Alongside Alan, this quartet features the house band from Peggy's Skylight (award winning jazz club in Nottingham).

Alan Barnes – saxophone
Paul Deats – piano
Martyn Spencer – double bass
Andrew Wood – drums

“His stylistic range is quite phenomenal… He has a wonderful capacity for suggesting a given style without actually imitating anyone” – Dave Gelly, Masters Of The Jazz Saxophone

“Barnes plays music that was radical 50 years ago but he infuses it with so much passion and energy you could believe it was minted on the spot, which is always part of the story with jazz.” – John L. Walters, The Guardian
