Adrian Cox
The internationally-acclaimed jazz clarinettist, aged 38, is certainly at the top of his game.
He was nominated for two Parliamentary Jazz Awards this year, ‘Jazz Instrumentalist’ and ‘The Lockdown Innovation Award’.
In 2018, Adrian was invited to perform with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra at London’s Barbican Centre, playing the music from the Benny Goodman 1938 Carnegie Hall concert. He then went on to perform in New York at the gala concert celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Lincoln Center, and was amongst guests
such as the great Tony Bennett.
As a performer, Adrian has the ability to engage with his audience both on and off stage, with an unrivalled feel for the music he plays. His virtuosic technique has lead to wide critical acclaim including Time Out declaring him “London’s most charismatic reedsman”.
In 2019, Adrian toured the globe performing music from his project Profoundly Blue, which celebrates the music of jazz clarinet legend Edmond Hall, with sell-out concerts at Ronnie
Scott’s London and Dizzy’s Club New York being among the highlights of the 200+ shows.
Throughout lockdown, Adrian kept extremely busy with his popular live stream sessions, ‘The Sunday Service’ attracting worldwide audiences each week. It was also a chance for him to write his brand new album featuring his band with strings (2022 release date) – his biggest project to date.

Jack Cotterill
Jack grew up in a family of musicians. His dad Robert, and grandad Pete Cotterill were both prestigious professional jazz drummers. Surrounded by drums from a very early age, it was certain that Jack would grow up to be another drummer in the Cotterill dynasty.
At the age of 13 Jack started to visit his local jazz night in Alsager, at the horseshoe pub, sitting in for a few numbers with various professional musicians from all over the country.
At the age of 14 he started playing with the local jazz bands, and then went on to full-time touring. At this time Jack and his family made the decision that he should leave school to pursue a full time career in music and was home schooled to allow more flexibility for his touring.He has never looked back!
Jack has since gone on to play and record with some of the worlds finest musicians. In more recent times, undaunted by the pandemic, he recorded a full studio album and still runs the successful online show ‘Live at Jack’s Place’ which has attracted thousands of
viewers from all over the world.

“Jack Cotterill has all the attributes of a great jazz drummer. He has a deep knowledge of jazz history, is a master of dynamics, and is very much a team player. Most importantly though, he swings like mad”
