Biography

Jac began studying the saxophone in Nottingham and after completing a jazz course at New College he began his own projects, working around the Nottingham jazz scene.


In 2001 he turned professional joining 60’s and 70’s soul legend Jimmy James’ band, which he stayed with for 2 years working and touring in both Britain and Europe. During this time Jac gained a place at Trinity College of Music London to study with the highly acclaimed US saxophonist Jean Touissaint (Art Blakey Band) and graduated in 2005.


Since moving to London, Jac has been a regular player on the London jazz scene, both with his Standards duo/trio, original quartet and quintet, and Blue Note quintet / sextet. He has a regular residency in Soho and performance highlights include the Glastonbury Music Festival, Cheltenham Jazz Festival and The Riverfront Jazz Festival (London).


Jac is also an active composer and arranger and writes music for various jazz groups and larger ensembles. He has been commissioned by the PRS Foundation for New Music, writing original compositions for drum kit and orchestra (London Breakbeat Orchestra) recorded for the BBC at their Maida Vale studios and broadcast on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Asian network. These compositions have also been performed in Trafalgar Square as part of the Festival of Youth Arts, at Rhythms Of The World Festivals, At Koko (Camden palace), Cargo, Q club (Birmingham) and various other music venues around the country.
