ART THEMEN
Art Themen is a previous winner in the tenor sax category of the British Jazz Awards. Stan Tracey, widely regarded as the ‘Godfather of British Jazz’ employed him in all his groups throughout a period of over 20 years during which they toured the world together, winning the jazz album and jazz ensemble of the year along the way.
Art has been featured with virtually everyone on the UK jazz scene, including deputising for the great Ronnie Scott during the latter’s later years. In addition he has played alongside American legends including Philly Joe Jones, George Coleman, Charlie Parker’s alumni Red Rodney and Al Haig, Thelonious Monk’s regular saxophonist Charlie Rouse, Bud Shank, Nat Adderley, Scott Hamilton, et al. Outside the jazz scene he has accompanied such diverse artists as Mick Jagger, George Harrison, Rod Stewart, Jack Bruce, Chuck Berry, Alexis Korner and, even Bing Crosby. A memorable recording was that of Joe Cocker’s number one hit of the Beatles’ song ‘With a little help from my friends’, for which he received the princely sum of £15!
He was a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at the Royal Berkshire Hospital for 30 years, retiring in 2006 to concentrate on his musical career.
During Covid lockdown Art kept him self busy by playing about 100 socially distanced mini concerts In the hope of buoying up the spirits of the neighbours in his lane, (and keeping himself sane)! He has received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Worshipful Company of Musicians, and last year was shortlisted for instrumentalist of the year in the parliamentary jazz awards.
Finally, by an incredible stroke of luck he’s managed to acquire Ronnie Scott’s tenor sax which has the additional provenance of possibly being owned by Hank Mobley, one of the all time tenor saxophone greats.
