Courtney Pine and Zoe Rahman

The legendary jazz hero plans to strip everything right back for the most intimate shows of his long and celebrated career, as he takes to the stage playing bass clarinet accompanied only by the fellow Mercury nominee and MOBO award-winning pianist. A vibrant and highly individual pianist/composer, her style is deeply rooted in jazz and also reflects her classical background and British/Bengali heritage. ‘I have always wanted to record a collection of my favourite ballads and there is nothing like performing in a duet format for bringing out the intimacy of great songs.’
