75 years old this year, Peter King is still dazzling audiences with his spontaneity, sensational swing, beauteous melodic sense and breathtaking virtuosity. Peter is a national treasure - one of the greatest alto sax players in the world and one the greatest musicians to have emerged from the UK. He has often been compared to Charlie Parker but is very much his own man - often imitated but never duplicated. He soars over changes playing pure melody with the excitement of a hurricane and imbues every note with passion and vitality.
Many very special guests, colleagues, friends and fans will come together for this celebration/benefit to play and be part of this unique evening....
