We welcome for the first time to The Spin, the phenomenal tenor saxophonist Jim Hunt.

Jim has hitherto been impossible to book - due only to his years of tireless touring around the world! Aside from the more straight-ahead jazz gliterati, Jim has had long-term collaborations with the likes of Incognito, Amy Winehouse, Brand new heavies, Mica Paris, Anthony Braxton...and the list goes on! His discography with these and other stars is extensive, to say the least.

“O’Higgins plays with quite exceptional fluency and his fund of ideas never runs out.”

Kelvin Christiane has been one of the leading lights of the London jazz scene for many years. A commanding tenor player whose influences stretch from Roland Kirk to Michael Brecker, and one of the few players we know of who can play two horns at once and sound good.

Julian is an utterly distinctive saxophonist and composer, bringing a strong sense of melody and warmth to his compositions and playing. Best known for leading his quartet for over a decade now which features some of the finest musicians in Europe, Yuri Golubev, Macek Pysz and Adam Teixeira.

‘Those of us who have caught him live ... have been left in blinking disbelief.  It's not just his mastery of the tenor saxophone, phenominal though it is, but the absolute conviction of his playing that is so impressive.' Dave Gelly, The Observer
