Dick Oatts, one of the modern great saxophonists, composers and bandleaders joins WAYJO straight from the home of jazz.
A huge influence on countless artists, Oatts brings his recognisable sound to two very special concerts. Leading the sax section of the famed Vanguard Jazz Orchestra since 1978, Oatts has one of the most recognisable lead alto sounds in jazz history.
And of course, as a resident of the Big Apple, Oatts will bring with him all of the very best that the city that never sleeps has to offer. From composers like Thad Jones to his own works, Dick Oatts will provide the highlight of the jazz year.
Do not miss out on this concert, sure to be one of WAYJO’s finest.
