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.
