Top-rated multi-saxophonist Steve Buckley is next up with his quartet at North Devon Jazz Club in The Beaver, Appledore on 4th November.
Over his career Steve has been associated with a an impressive number of musical projects as well as being a highly-rated educator and composer. He was a member of the pioneer band Loose Tubes, which became the focal point of the British jazz renaissance in the 1980s and during this time, he was also closely associated with the London African and Latin American scenes, playing with bands such as Taxi Pata Pata (a top Zairean Soukous outfit) , Bosco D’Olivera’s Grupo Folia and Roberto Pla’s Latin Jazz Ensemble.
His continued connections with African music led him to travel to Ghana to work with The Pan African Orchestra and with Kakatsitsi in the UK.. Steve was also a member of the acclaimed Anglo American band Big Air, whose 2009 album was described by Jazz Journal as ‘the best British jazz record for twenty years.

Now living in Devon Steve has continued with projects, including playing with the legendary South African pianist Tete Mbambisa and with a re-united Loose Tubes.
The Beaver gig starts at 8.30 p.m. and entry will be free (although ther will be a collection for the band during the evening). For a meal booking phone 01237 474822.
