TONY KOFI

**Winner BBC Jazz Awards 2005/6**. Having “cut his teeth” in the “Jazz Warriors” of the early 90’s, award-winning saxophonist Tony Kofi has gone on to establish himself as a musician, teacher and composer of some authority. As well as “Nu-Troop” and “Jazz Jamaica” Tony’s alto playing has also been a feature of many bands and artists he has worked with include “US-3” Branford Marsalis, Courtney Pine, Donald Byrd, Eddie Henderson, The David Murray Big Band and Sam Rivers. His fluent and fiery hard-bop alto playing is constantly in demand and it’s with great pleasure that we welcome him to the Hideaway this evening where he will play a mix of originals as well as a tribute to Charlie Parker.
