Brandon Allen & Alex Garnett
Lineup
About the Event
Saxophonists Brandon Allen and Alex Garnett have been friends and musical sparring partners for well over 20 years. The musical chemistry between them was apparent early on and is still very much the case today, both players inspiring the other to strive for greater heights.
They will be celebrating one of the great traditions in jazz, the Two Tenors, or in this case, the Tough Tenors.
For this particular project, a wide range of saxophone pairings will be remembered and reimagined…
Dexter Gordon/Wardell Gray
Johnny Griffin/Eddie ‘Lockjaw’ Davis
Sonny Stitt/Gene Ammons
Al Cohn/Zoot Sims
Ronnie Scott/Tubby Hayes
Clifford Jordan/John Gilmore
Illinois Jacquet/Arnett Cobb
David ‘Fathead’ Newman/James Clay
Joe Lovano/Joshua Redman
Seamus Blake/Chris Cheek
Eric Alexander/Grant Stewart
George Garzone/Jerry Bergonzi
Expect foot tappin’ rhythm and blues, classic hardbop, high energy modal blowouts, contemporary jazz and gorgeous full toned ballads.
