Dave O’Higgins’ tenor and soprano sax sounds are highly personal and recognisable, with a clear sense of melodic development and adventure. A popular performer with the public, with an excellent sense of pacing and presentation, he has a wide palette from Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane, Joe Henderson through to Stanley Turrentine and Michael Brecker. He has relentlessly pursued artistic and sonic exploration and development with a deep respect for the tradition of the music. Over the course of his performance career, Dave has shared the stage with Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Jamie Cullum, BBC Big Band and Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra. For this one-off show at Grantham Guildhall, Dave will be joined by the Andrew Wood Trio, who are one of the most in demand trios in the East Midlands, as well as being the band of choice by many national and international jazz artists when touring in the area. “O’Higgins plays with quite exceptional fluency and his fund of ideas never runs out.” - The OBSERVER
