Leading London guitarist Will Arnold-Forster puts together a special, one-off quartet for this EFG London Jazz Festival date comprising Alex Hitchcock (tenor saxophone), Jeremy Brown (double bass) and Josh Morrison (drums). 

Drawing inspiration from the great guitar and tenor saxophone pairings in jazz, such as Jimmy Raney/Stan Getz as well as Jim Hall/Sonny Rollins, the quartet will perform lesser known selections from the jazz canon and American Songbook.

Will Arnold-Forster is a recent graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. A recent recipient of the Yamaha Jazz Scholarship, he has performed with his award-winning quartet across the country and in all of London's major jazz venues, including Ronnie Scott's The Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall & The Barbican Center.

London-born saxophonist Alex Hitchcock is regarded as one of the UK’s most virtuosic young jazz musicians. His group AuB, which released its debut album on Edition Records in 2020, was described as ‘ready to make cataclysmic waves in the sound of UK jazz’ by Jazzwise.
