Gigs
Me & 3
Kicking off the second day of this year’s festival is the fantastic original saxophone quartet after a long break from Birmingham Jazz. This all-sax line up has an original set list of songs from many sources. They hint at the UK 1980’s pioneers of sax only music ‘Itchy Fingers’ and today their repertoire will be featured. We welcome back the four-sax extravagance! Led by local saxophonist, composer and author Jo Markland and joined by her three best friends in jazz. Ben Markland, Tom Martin and Rosie O’Callaghan for a unique night of traditional jazz standards, original compositions and a broad array of arrangements from Mike Mower’s Itchy Fingers to Me & 3’s take on the likes of John Mayer and Gregory Porter!
Line Up: Jo Markland – sax, Ben Markland – Sax & Anna Brooks – sax
