Wednesday 5 February 2025: Jo Fooks Quartet
Born in Edinburgh, saxophonist Jo Fooks was named ‘Young Scottish Jazz Musician of the Year’ in 1992, which led to study at the Guildhall and a scholarship to Berklee School of Music’s summer jazz program. She joined the Humphrey Lyttelton band, touring all over the UK. Her influences include Illinois Jacquet, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon & Cannonball Adderley. Jo’s big, bright sound has also been compared to Stan Getz. She has worked with some of the finest mainstream bands and artists, including Jo Harrop & Scott Hamilton. With John Pearce on piano, Buster Birch on drums and Marianne Windham on double bass for a night of classic, swinging standards and a few of her originals.
From 19:15 to 22:30 at Guildford Pavilion, Woodbridge Road, GU1 4RP.
