John Altman Quintet
Familiar to us all as the accomplished leader of his astonishing
big band, as well as a prolific composer for the movies, television and
commercials, tonight John Altman lays down his baton to front a small
group. An Emmy and BAFTA winning composer, John began his musical
journey at age 3 with Judy Garland at the London Palladium. Commencing
his recording and live career as an in-demand saxophonist in the late
60s he has performed with many of the major figures in music over the
last few decades including Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Muddy Waters, Nick
Drake, Eric Clapton, Sting, Phil Collins, Jimmy Page, Little Richard and
Van Morrison, also jazz giants Al Cohn, Jimmy Heath, Chet Baker, Bud
Freeman and Joe Newman.
