Tonight we proudly present the one man institution that is Peter
King. In the words of one critic, "the finest alto saxophonist that
Britain has ever produced, and one of the finest in the world today" -
Dave Gelly. Peter King has been a major influence on the British jazz
scene ever since he played, at the age of eighteen, the opening night of
the original Ronnie Scott’s in 1959. He’s worked with such legends as
Bud Powell, Elvin Jones, Max Roach, Milt Jackson, Lalo Schifrin, George
Coleman and the Ray Charles Orchestra. "A wonderful musician, Peter
King, of course, is a master of his instrument. People are aware of that
here in America as well as in England" - Elvin Jones. "World’s great
Altoist...My Man!" - Nat Adderley. "Peter King is one of the best
musicians in the world" - Lalo Schifrin.
