Jazz Steps Live at the Libraries: Sharp Little Bones feat. Tony Kofi - Worksop Library

Virtuosic quartet, featuring the multi-award winning Tony Kofi on saxophone, with a fresh, contemporary sound that’s an audio melting-pot of jazz, funk, blues, bop and electronica.

Within the music’s melodic and energetically rhythmic arrangements, there's freedom for expressive solos and exciting group interplay.

The band’s debut double album, ‘Volumes I & II’ released in 2023 by Ubuntu Music, received widespread critical acclaim, being widely played across BBC Radio and Jazz FM.  Their UK tour was a sell-out and culminated in a headlining show at the London Jazz Festival. 

“Simon Paterson is an exceedingly talented composer and bassist, whose style has evolved and matured into something original, yet connects with fans of all kinds of music, as well as the jazz faithful. His first release on our label has universal critical praise as well as national radio play”—Martin Hummel, Director, Ubuntu Management Group
