ROBERT FOWLER QUINTET: A RODGERS & HART AFFAIR

Presenting an evening celebrating the music of Rodgers & Hart!

The songs of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart have long been favourites of cabaret singers and jazz artists. Hart's lyrics raised the standard for Broadway songwriting and Rodgers, as a creator of melodies, ranks with Jerome Kern and Irving Berlin. Together they wrote some of Broadway's most enduring musicals

ROBERT FOWLER is one of British jazz's greatest tenor-saxophonists. Securely rooted in the classic traditions of Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Chu Berry and their peers, he began playing clarinet and tenor in Bristol; then emabarked on a professional career in 1986 with the Pasadena Roof Orchestra, thereafter worked with a wide variety of UK players from Keith Nichols and Enrico Tomasso to Jean Toussaint and Gary Crosby as well as touring for two years with rock singer Brian Ferry.

This is an extra-special concert by an extra-special musician!
