About Me |
|
| British saxophonist and composer who began his career in London in the 1980s performing with bands like Grand Union, Roberto Pla's Latin Jazz Ensemble, Sambatucada, the London School of Samba, occasionally with the 21-piece phenomenon Loose Tubes, and led various bands - in particular a quartet with Huw Warren, Dudley Phillips and Bosco De Oliveira which gained something of a cult following in Europe and recorded a couple of programs for the BBC.Unable to contain his wanderlust, he has spent a significant amount of time in different parts of the world including Spain, USA, Islas Canarias, Germany, Malaysia and recently Singapore. This has imbued his music with a vast vocabulary of flavours that range from the Afro-Cuban to the Balinese.He spent some time as a full-time lecturer at the International College of Music in Kuala Lumpur, and has taught at various other institutions such as Mahidol University, Bangkok; National University of Singapore and La Salle College of the Arts in Singapore.Those currently involved in his recordings and performances include drummers Lewis Pragasam (Malaysia), Nic
France (UK), bassists Dudley Phillips (UK), Christy Smith (USA) and Andy Peterson (Malaysia), pianists Jarmo
Savolainen, (Finland), Mei Sheum (Singapore), Michael Veerapen, Mac Chew (Malaysia) and Michael Stanton
(USA), percussionist Steve Thornton (USA), guitarists Randy Bernsen(USA) and Eugene Pao (Hong Kong),
singer Angelita Li (Hong Kong), and British trumpeter Damon Brown.He has played and recorded with many other great musicians. These include artists such as: Toninho Horta, Billy
Cobham, Phil Perry, Terumasa Hino, Jeremy Monteiro, Asiabeat, Pucho and his Latin Soul Brothers, John Etheridge, Phil Manzanera, Nana Vasconcelos, Radio Futura, Sheila Majid, Lee Hom and Siti
Nurhaliza. |
