This evening the club are pleased to host a return visit by award-winning tenor saxophonist Karen Sharp as she performs her selection of sophisticated standards with the house trio. Originally from Suffolk, Karen has performed regularly at the club in the past, though 10 years seem to have slipped by since her last appearance here as a soloist..!
Well-known around the UK’s jazz clubs and festivals (including the long-running Norwich Jazz Party), from her earliest days as a clarinettist and tenor and baritone saxophonist Karen has been a first-call section player for the UK’s top big-bands, including those of Humphrey Lyttelton, Guy Barker, Stan Tracey and the Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Orchestra.
Featuring arrangements for smaller ensembles, Karen has released six albums under her own name (collaborating with top artists such as Dave Priseman, Colin Oxley and Nikki Iles) and we’re looking forward to discovering which of her favourite tunes she’ll be bringing along for us to perform for you this evening.
Admission £18 / U25s £9 / after 9.30pm £9
Doors: 7.30pm / music from 8.30-11pm
