Leader of the acclaimed Gary Crosby’s Nu Troop and founder of the mighty Jazz Jamaica, Gary’s impact and influence on the UK jazz scene spans four decades.
Through Tomorrow’s Warriors, Gary has been at the heart of the recent British jazz explosion, nurturing young musical talent and increasing opportunity, diversity, and excellence in and through jazz. He is also the artistic director of the acclaimed Nu Civilisation Orchestra and, in 2018, became the 14th recipient of the prestigious Queen’s Medal for Music – the first person of colour and first non-classical musician ever to receive the award.
Gary is joined by Aleksandra Topczewska (saxophone), Alex Ho (piano), and Eddie Hicks (drums).
