I'm a 23 year old saxophonist from Bristol. I am currently in my second year at the Royal Academy of Music in London, studying on the Jazz course directed by Gerard Presencer. I'm taught by Martin Speake, Iain Ballamy, Will Vinson, Nick Smart, Tom Cawley, Pete Churchill, Barack Schmool and Nikki Iles. In London, I currently play with Kubla Khan, The Floating Points Ensemble and the Tom Stone Nonet as well as the following outfits around Bristol and the Southwest : The Resonation Big Band, Hélélé, the Keith Tippett Octet, Edenheight, World Government, the Andy Hague Quintet, the Andy Hague Big Band, the Mike Willox Quartet and Melo Park (Kosheen's Sian Evans' new acoustic project) - playing keyboards that is. I also play alongside top UK trombonist Dennis Rollins in his band, "Badbone and Co." As a session musician, i frequently record with UK Drum 'n' Bass/Jungle producer Roni Size within various projects and formats including the legendary Drum and Bass act, "Reprazent."

Hey James.It was good to meet you brother. Sounds like you guys had a very late night indeed - I am surprised you could play after all that food I saw you eating. Love the arrangements that you and Jay did - look forward to hearing them.See you soon bro.
Great gig here yesterday with Greg & co - sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye, but thanks again James. And hope we can fix a date for you here before too long. See you soon.
The entire album is a testament to good jazz. The rhythm section sounds great, both individually and as a unit, complimenting Andrew’s lyrical style perfectly.
