One of London's major jazz events last Summer was saxophonist Steve Williamson's appearance alongside the Nu Civilisation Orchestra at the Purcell Room. Steve's next major concert stage appearance will be at the London Jazz Festival where he'll be performing in a duo with pianist Pat Thomas, opening for Steve Coleman. The music will be improvised, spontaneous and unmissable. More information and booking here.
