Alan Barnes Octet

Alan Barnes Octet

Alan Barnes is a prolific international performer, composer, arranger, bandleader and touring soloist. He is best known for his work on clarinet, alto and baritone sax, where he combines a formidable virtuosity with a musical expression and collaborative spirit that have few peers. His range and brilliance have made him a “first call” for studio and live work since his precocious arrival on the scene more than thirty years ago. The octet will be playing straight ahead arrangements of well known jazz compositions as well as excerpts from some of Alan's Jazz Suites: The Marbella suite, The Sherlock Holmes Suite and A Jazz Christmas Carol included in the sets.
