15F TOMMY SMITH OBE saxophone

Tommy Smith is a leading light in European jazz, first and foremost as one of the finest saxophonists of his generation, and latterly as the founder and current director of the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra (SNJO). These career-defining achievements are framed by his status as an international recording artist, a composer and an arranger of extraordinary ambition.

He has recorded with the definitive jazz label, Blue Note, and worked with myriad jazz greats.

Smith’s solo saxophone concerts feature entirely acoustic performances of spontaneously chosen melodies drawn from the jazz and folk traditions, which highlight his wonderful tone and improvising capabilities in an intimate conversation with the audience. A late-night candle-lit Cathedral event not to be missed!
