The Adrian Cox Trio, led by clarinetist Adrian Cox, plays a jazz tribute to New Orleans saxophonist Sidney Bechet at the Guildhall.
The Adrian Cox Trio are playing Salisbury Guildhall on Wednesday 25 November, with a set built around the work of Sidney Bechet. The show is called The Wonderful World of Bechet, and it's presented by Adrian Cox Music.
Bechet was one of the most revered saxophonists to come out of New Orleans, a forerunner of jazz known for his stentorian sound and stirring musicality. One of his compositions, Si Tu Vois Ma Mère, is among the pieces the trio will be working through. The whole evening is a tribute to him, so if you're not familiar with his name, this is a good place to start.
Adrian Cox leads the group on clarinet and vocals, and he's a leading authority on New Orleans music. He's played alongside some of the biggest names in jazz, including two concerts with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. The trio is rounded out by Honey Boulton on guitar and vocals, and Alex Gilson on double bass and vocals, so all three take turns on the singing. They've toured extensively worldwide and specialise in the New Orleans tradition, which they describe as bringing into the 21st century with a respectful and accessible approach.
