TALENTED saxophonist Nigel Hitchcock brings his quartet to the Herts Jazz Club on Sunday.
It marks his return to the English scene after spending the last decade in Scotland.

In 1989 Nigel joined the contemporary saxophone quartet Itchy Fingers, touring Europe and South East Asia with the foursome over an 18-month period.
He went on to perform with artists such as Tom Jones, Wet Wet Wet and Robbie Williams before moving to the Isle of Skye to work on his composition skills and commissions for classical work.
