On 24 October, the jazz performance class had a visit from Tim Garland. This award wining saxophonist and composer has illuminated the UK music scene for 20 years, as well as being an integral part of Chick Corea’s globe-trotting band for the past 14 years.

Tim took the time to meet with our jazz students prior to his sell-out show at Turner Sims that night. He discussed his eventful life and progress as a musician, traveling and performing around the world. Tim also performed for the students and gave performance and composition advice.
