Music has been with Neil since early childhood. As is the way with the arts, he does a number of different disciplines within music playing soprano, alto, and tenor saxes and clarinet as well as running various groups including a big band, jazz bands, a clarinet group and workshops (usually with a improvisational slant). Neil also regularly arranges and composes and partakes in quite a bit of band leading. Neil’s influences and interests lie primarily in jazz but also classical music, but he also loves working with salsa, funk, soul, motown, blues and more. Neil will be ably supported this evening by James Clemas on keyboards, Joe Gass on double bass, and Eddie Kingdom on drums.
