Courtney Pine, Zoe Rahman

In the '80s he was one of the first black British jazz artists to make a serious mark on the jazz scene and some 20 plus years on, Courtney Pine continues to break new ground with a string of highly acclaimed recordings and prestigious Industry awards.

With his latest project, he plans to strip everything right back for the most intimate shows of his long and celebrated career as he takes to the stage playing bass clarinet accompanied only by fellow Mercury nominee and MOBO Award winning pianist, Zoe Rahman. A vibrant and highly individual pianist/composer, her style is deeply rooted in jazz yet it reflects her classical background, British/Bengali heritage and very broad musical taste.
