Two weeks tonight (Friday August 18) the doors to the Black Swan open at seven o'clock. At eight o'clock one of the British jazz scene's brightest young stars will take to the stage. Saxophonist Alex Clarke will be making her third appearance on Tyneside, on this occasion it'll be with her ace quartet: pianist Andrzej Baranek (most recently in Newcastle with Gaz Hughes at the Lit & Phil), brilliant young bassist James Owston (a two-time visitor to the Globe) and one of the leading drummers of his generation, Clark Tracey.
Alex Clarke, a former finalist in the 2020 BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year competition and winner in the 'rising star' category at the 2019 British Jazz Awards, is as busy as any musician you care to name. In demand across the board, working with many of the established 'names', it's easy to forget the saxophonist is a mere twenty-something. Tickets for this unmissable Newcastle Arts Centre concert are priced at £15.00. (a Newcastle Jazz Festival season ticket gains admission to the event) and are available from: www.newcastlejazzfestival.co.
