“Scott Hamilton on tenor sax, Alan Barnes on alto and baritone sax, John Pearce on piano, Dave Green on bass and Steve Brown drums, this promises to be an event to remember.

“Scott was born in Providence Rhode Island in 1954. In 1976 he moved to New York where he worked with many of the jazz greats including Benny Goodman, Roy Eldridge, Illinois Jacquet, Vic Dickinson, Jo Jones, Anita O’ Day and Hank Jones to name a few. He formed his first quartet in 1977. Now he travels the world from Italy, including returning to America three or four times a year to play in festivals. Each year he has residencies with his quartet at Pizza Express and other selected British jazz club dates.

“Alan, who is no stranger to CJC, also has a wealth of international experience playing with such diverse and demanding figures as Ruby Braff, Freddie Hubbard, Warren Vaché and Conte Candoli.”
