Celebrating the historic trumpet/saxophone partnerships of jazz!

Think of Miles Davis/John Coltrane, Chet Baker/Gerry Mulligan, Lee Morgan/Joe Henderson, or Clifford Brown/Harold Land, and you see a theme, two lead instruments working as one to create amazing harmony, punchy unison lines and unforgettable jazz improvisation.

Trumpeter Stuart Henderson and award winning saxophonist Karen Sharp join forces to celebrate the music of these fantastic partnerships from the 40s 50s and 60s!

With the swinging rhythm section of the sensational Gareth Willams on piano, Marianne WIndham on bass and Simon Price on drums

DIRECTIONS

The performance is upstairs in the Pavilion building at the Guildford County Cricket Club, The Sports Ground, Woodbridge Road, Guildford GU1 4RP

For sat navs please check the postcode takes you to Wharf Road. There’s a car park alongside, entry from Wharf Road. If you’re approaching from Guildford town centre, Wharf Road is on the left just before the Sports Ground. If you’re approaching from the A3/Ladymead there’s no right turn into Wharf Road, but continue to the next roundabout to double back.

The car park next to the Pavilion holds about 40 cars (to enable emergency access, cars can only park in the marked bays). Unless it’s very wet, the overflow car park at the far end of the Cricket ground will be open.

To access the overflow car park, turn left as you come out of Wharf Road and carry on along Woodbridge Road towards the railway bridge, and the entrance to the ground is just before the end of the green fence that runs along the perimeter of the ground, next to the Woodbridge Café.

You might prefer to use one of the larger public car parks which are just a few minutes walk away: the open air Mary Road Car Park (GU1 4QU) or multi-storey Bedford Road Car Park (GU1 4SJ)
