Sit back with a cocktail or two or a glass of your favourite tipple and enjoy a set of swinging jazz from this trio of award winning jazz musicians, delivered in Jo’s own inimitable relaxed style.
A former "Young Scottish Jazz Musician of the Year", saxophonist Jo Fooks received an invitation from the legendary British trumpeter Humphrey Lyttelton to join his band, and the rest, as they say, is history. Citing Humph's "fun-filled and melodic" approach as a major influence, Jo’s big, bright sound has also been compared to iconic players such as Stan Getz and Zoot Sims. Jo's CV includes work with some of the finest mainstream bands and artists, including Jo Harrop and Scott Hamilton.
