PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)

A list of Jim Rattigan’s accomplishments would fill pages, just as his music fills the air with the sheer joy of creativity. One of the world’s foremost exponents of the French horn, he is also one of the few to have convincingly adapted it to jazz music. In a career spanning over forty years, he’s played in ensembles of every conceivable size and sort, but never had the opportunity to show what the French Horn is ca pable of in those most stripped-back, quintessential jazz formats: the duo record and the Standards album. Until now… Tonight, Jim launches ‘Duos’ the result of his exploration of the French horn in this demanding, yet rewarding setting with collaborators Ivo Neame, Nick Costley-White, and Hans Koller.
