Tony Kofi Quartet **Winner BBC Jazz Awards 2005/6/8**

Having cut his teeth in the “Jazz Warriors” of the early 90s, Award-winning saxophonist Tony Kofi has gone on to establish himself as a musician, teacher and composer of authority. Tony’s playing has been a feature of many bands, artists he has worked with include “US-3” Branford Marsalis, Courtney Pine, Donald Byrd and Eddie Henderson. And just to emphasise his international status Tony is currently one of the featured saxophone players with David Murray’s iconic US band the World Saxophone Quartet, the first UK born musician to hold such a prestigious position in this band. His fluent and fiery playing is constantly in demand and it’s with great pleasure that we welcome this internationally established musician back to the Club with his fantastic band featuring Jon Jee on piano, Larry Bartley on bass and Rod Youngs on drums.
