Baptiste Herbin is one of the most innovative and influential saxophonists in jazz. His playing is characterised by his technical prowess, his ability to seamlessly blend different genres of music, and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible on the saxophone. Herbin will delight us with an impressive repertoire, a cocktail of his own compositions and arrangements of well-know jazz standards. His music is strongly rooted in bebop and swing so get ready for a trip to New York via Paris, right here at Ladbroke Hall.
