Alexandra Chorus' Musical Director & Conductor

A master of the tenor sax, Mornington Lockett fuses his unique style with Kate William’s graceful and uptempo swing, joined by Stu Butterfield’s highly established beats and a touch of Green’s responsive playing. A quartet not to be missed, this is your weekly dose of smooth and soulful jazz.

Mornington Lockett has been described by Time Out as “one of the country’s most acomplished contemporary improvisers…with a fearsome technique and an advanced harmonic approach” so make sure to catch him at this local gig while you can. Performing alongside him, the equally talented Kate Williams, an elegant player with subtle touches and storytelling vibes. Highly respected and award winning players Dave Green and Stu Butterfield will also be accompanying to complete this quartet.

Mornington Lockett (tenor sax), Kate Williams (piano), Dave Green (bass), Stu Butterfield (drums)

The wee band is the quartet of trumpeter Henry Lowther, guitarist Jim Mullen, bassist Dave Green and drummer Stu Butterfield, and “great” is a fair description of it. They're back at Karamel after a packed night last season, bringing their experienced and melodic tunes.

Founded in 1999, the band has had two albums shortlisted for UK Jazz Record of the Year.

With 2 of the musicians coming from Muswell Hill, this is a great opportunity, to see and support local, and nationally renown, brilliant musicians!

“Perfect small band jazz. Only the very best and most mature musicians can achieve this degree of simplicity, in which every tiny nuance counts” – Dave Gelly, The Observer

DOORS OPEN 7PM, MUSIC STARTS AT 8PM
TICKETS ARE £8 ON THE DOOR

“A Quartet of formidable talents who mean everything they play. A definite contender for record of the year” – Mark Gardner – Jazz Journal.

Henry Lowther (trumpet), Jim Mullen (guitar), Dave Green (bass) and Stu Butterfield (drums)
