THE Peter King Quartet plays Herts Jazz Club this Sunday.

With a career which began in the late 1950s, saxophonist Peter has remained at the forefront of his craft, having won numerous awards and accolades on his instrument.

A member of the British jazz elite, his musical inspiration came from Parker and Coltrane and he has worked with such legends as Bud Powell, Elvin Jones, Max Roach, Milt Jackson, Lalo Schifrin, Frank Foster’s ‘new’ Count Basie Band and the Ray Charles Orchestra.

Joining him at the club which meets at Campus West, Welwyn Garden City, will be Steve Melling, piano, Geoff Gascoyne, bass, and Mark Fletcher, drums.

Tickets are £5 for students and under-21s; £11 in advance from www.hawthornetheatre.co.uk/whatsonstage.html or £13 at the door.
