JAZZ NEWS FROM THE U.K.

Legendary saxophonist Pharoah Sanders is currently on tour in Europe as he makes a stop in the UK’s concert halls for three exclusive dates. He is scheduled to perform at the Barbican on September 28th.

George Duke also hits the UK as he recently stopped at the SmoothJazz FM the studios for a quick chat to talk about everything - from how he started singing and even what car he drives (and of course his brilliant new album Duke released now on Dome Records).
