Sheffield Jazz: Clark Tracey Sextet

Following a great gig at Crookes with his quintet in 2018, Clark Tracey returns to Sheffield with this line-up of gifted young musicians augmented to a sextet. From his own experience of over 40 years in jazz, Clark leads them through bebop to post-bop, a highly accessible journey that swings all the way. Aside from Clark, who is a six-time winner of Best Drums in the British Jazz Awards, Alexandra Ridout won the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the year in 2016 with Sean Payne the runner-up while James Owston was also a finalist in the 2018 competition. Highly impressive pianist Will Barry has been seen in Sheffield with Jasper Hoiby's and Alex Hitchcock's bands. Since its inception this band has continued to impress audiences at clubs and festivals with a maturity beyond their years. www.clarktracey.com Advance booking only.
