Alex Western-King Quartet presents Cannonball Reimagined -a night dedicated to reinventing and contorting the melodic creativity of Cannonball Adderley.
Since forming in 2016 The Alex Western-King Quartet has gained a reputation for being one of the ‘hardest swinging bands in town’. The band infuses their love for classic bebop with contemporary improvisation. Saxophonist Alex Western-King is an award-winning musician and regular at Ronnie Scotts Late Late Show, who’s passion is keeping the bebop tradition alive.
“Equally adept on alto and tenor saxophone, Alex reaches deep into the core of jazz thus refining a personal statement and unfettered connection with both his fellow musicians and the audience – a swinging and robust player when riding the tempo of a number, he displays a rare sensitivity on ballads.” Paul Pace – Ronnie Scotts
