Alex Clarke is one of the most in-demand and versatile young saxophonists emerging on the British jazz scene. She was winner of the Rising Star category in the 2019 British Jazz Awards, a finalist in the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2020, and a nominee in the Parliamentary Jazz Awards 2021.
This gig at The Globe will be the first night of a UK tour to promote her second album ‘Only A Year’. The quartet will include another BBC Young Jazz Musician finalist, James Owston, and two very well-established jazz musicians at the top of their game – Dave Newton and Clark Tracey.

Truly a star-studded line-up. Anyone who heard Alex Clarke at the Lit & Phil in 2021 will want to hear her again. She's the real deal - she really is.
On that occasion Dean Stockdale was on piano. This time it's the nations number one Dave Newton. Dave was recently up here with Alan Barnes but, back in 2015, Dave and Dean played a two piano concert at the Globe that people still have fond memories of.
A year earlier, in 2014, Clark Tracey played at the Globe's first major concert and, more recently in December 2021, again at the Globe, performed his legendary father Stan's Under Milk Wood suite. And who was on bass? You've guessed it - James Owston.
Not to be missed.
