Courtney Pine Band/Zoe Rahman/Omar Puente

This top UK saxophonist is still going strong after leading the Brit jazz pack for more than 20 years. His biting, Trane-ish tone, spectacular circular breathing and stratospheric chops are still sounding fresh today. Here he presents his widest reaching album to date 'Europa'. Exploring a pan-continental set of sounds from Balkan dirges to deadly drum and bass, sometimes at the same time, Pine's imaginative musical vision has never sounded so vibrant. The killer all-star band also includes superb pianist Rahman and Cuban violin star Puente. First of two nights.
