About
Top booking of the autumn programme sees the visit of Grammy Award winner Jean Toussaint; who first came to prominence when he joined Art Blakey’s ‘Jazz Messengers’ in 1982, after studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA.
His blistering technique and lyrical sound has graced many great bands from Wynton Marsalis, Gil Evans and various Julian Joseph bands to his own groups.
Jean has released 12 critically acclaimed albums as a leader, including 2018’s ‘Brother Raymond’, which saw him win Best Instrumentalist at the 2019 Jazz FM Awards; as well as top 10 lists in The Telegraph, Jazzwise, The Sunday Times, The Guardian and Jazz in Europe. ...
