Art Themen Featuring Liam Dunachie

Tuesday 1st October 2024

The Spin welcomes back the much-loved, brilliant saxophonist, Art Themen!

Themen is still absolutely at the top of his game (he has just returned from a U.S. tour as the featured saxophonist with Soft Machine!), having had a full-on career, much of it spent with Britain’s national treasure pianist, Stan Tracey. With Tracey, Themen toured all over the world and recorded on arguably the U.K.’s most cherished jazz album, ‘Under Milk Wood’.

As a member of Stan Tracey’s band, Themen was a regular at Ronnie Scott’s and in that tenure, performed with such U.S. greats as Nat Adderly, Red Rodney and George Coleman (amongst scores of others). It is a real treat to have Art come and perform for the Spin again.

We are also delighted to be featuring the completely outstanding organ player, Liam Dunachie. Liam has rightly become one of the most in-demand ‘Hammond’ players in the country (along with Ross Stanley) and he will be purveying his virtuosic, groove-fuelled fare, further contributing to the incendiary vibe of the Spin band!
