HEAR music played by an American jazz saxophonist described as 'one of the best of his generation'.

Terry Quinney will play the music of Stan Getz at Jazz in the Bar at the Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis on Sunday, March 24 at 8pm.

Stan was known as "the Sound" because of his warm, lyrical tone, his prime influence being the wispy, mellow timbre of his idol, Lester Young.

Getz won many Grammy awards in his lifetime, including one for his performance of bossa nova hit Desafinadowhich, one of the tunes you will hear in Lyme Regis.

A giant of the jazz world, Getz played with the best of his generation, and this evening you will hear music he played with the likes of Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans and Gerry Mulligan.

Saxophonist and composer Terry Quinney has quickly established himself on the British jazz scene since arriving here a few years ago from Canada. As co-leader of the 'The Sound Of Blue Note' band he has performed with UK jazz icons such as Nigel Price, Ian Shaw and Alan Barnes.

Terry has played at the renowned Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho, the National Theatre, Johnny Dankworth’s venue the Stables, and numerous jazz clubs in the UK - as has Philip Clouts, who will be accompanying him at the piano.
