Monkathon III: Tony Kofi (alto & tenor sax) Jonathan Gee (piano) Ben Hazelton (bass) Rod Youngs (drums) Door/food 7.0 pm, music 8.30 Students £12 (see note below)

At the London Jazz Festival in 2003, in a legendary, marathon, six-hour session, Tony Kofi's Quartet played all 70 of the known compositions written by the unique, towering jazz genius Thelonious Monk. This performance launched Tony's career and led to the recording of his debut CD All Is Know (Specific). In July 2016 and January 2018, in two passionate, locally legendary evenings, that same original quartet re-enacted about half of the master's oeuvre, and tonight their third outing promises another fascinating, invigorating journey through the inimitable Monk tunebook.
