SA born reedsman Duncan Hemstock has made the trip over from London to present the music from (and originals inspired by) one of the greatest jazz albums of all time: Ben And Sweets. Recorded in 1962, it featured two of the master soloists of the swing era in Ben Webster and Sweets Edison who were wonderfully accompanied by Hank Jones, George Duvivier and Clarence Johnston. Swingin’!
Now living in London, Duncan is relishing the many opportunities to perform for dancers and concert audiences alike throughout the UK and Europe. He brings his joy for life and music to every performance, always delivering with a smile and a cheeky quip or two. His clarinet playing is not only influenced by Goodman, but also the fiery intent of Edmond Hall, while his tenor saxophone approach is inspired by the great Lester Young.
