Youth Jazz Commission 2018

Tom Ridout

Sat 15, 12.30pm / The Storey Auditorium
Tom Ridout recorders
Billy Marrows guitar
Flo Moore ​double bass


​Award winning jazz saxophonist, recorder player and composer Tom Ridout was predicted by Jazzwise Magazine in 2012 as an upcoming musician to watch out for. A recent graduate from the prestigious Royal Academy of Music, finalist in the BBC Young Musician Jazz Award 2016 and a current member of NYJO, Tom also fronts his own bands which perform his original music and arrangements. He recently released his debut album “No Excuses” with a 13 piece band including strings and brass.

This project for the Lancaster Jazz Festival Youth Jazz Commission features Tom as arranger and recorder player, performing re-workings of music from Handel’s Recorder Sonatas for an improvising trio (recorder, double bass and guitar).
