Saxophonist Courtney Pine, awarded a CBE for services to music in 2009, showcases his critically acclaimed Transition in Tradition album set, his Bass Clarinet and Silver Soprano Sax taking centre stage alongside Harmonium, Castanets and Mandolin. Paying tribute to the first great saxophone star Sidney Bechet, it marks several new forays into sound for the groundbreaking Jazz Warrior, as he flows between beats including the New Orleans second line, old school swing and the reggae one drop.

Pulling together a heavyweight musical line-up that draws influences from Africa, the Caribbean, South America and Europe, the set embodies the legacy of jazz itself.
