Award-winning saxophonist Dom Franks and dynamic Kenilworth favourite, pianist Alex Steele, combine to present a joyous celebration of the collaboration between saxophone great Dexter Gordon and pianist Herbie Hancock.

The band will explore music from Herbie Hancock's debut album, 'Takin' Off', which featured Dexter Gordon on tenor sax, as well as tracks from the film 'Round Midnight' which featured an Oscar-winning score by Herbie Hancock, and starred Dexter Gordon as a jazz musician living in Paris. The band's set touches on evergreen jazz standards such as Round Midnight, Body and Soul, and Driftin', as well as hard-bop classics made famous by Dexter Gordon, and classic 60s tracks by Herbie Hancock. The band celebrates the highlights of these two great jazz musician's legacies.

Saxophonist Dom Franks has played with some of the biggest names in jazz, soul and latin music. Swinging, melodic and funky, he is perhaps best known for his original group Dom Franks' StrayHorn, whose album 'Duality Pt. 2' (2025) received glowing reviews across the jazz press, and was playlisted on Jazz FM, One Jazz and BBC Radio 3. His musical partner Alex Steele is known for his flying socks, lightning bebop runs and soulful approach to standards. They are accompanied by a top flight rhythm section, well known to Kenilworth, of Paul Jeffries (double bass) and the hard-swinging Euan Palmer (drums).
