Alina Bzhezhinska Quartet ft. Tony Kofi
“Bzhezhinska’s command of her complex, delicate- seeming instrument is astounding.” – Irish Examiner

masterpiece” – ★★★★★ Downbeat Magazine

Tony Kofi is a multi award winning saxophonists, a recording career that has seen collaborations with Donald Byrd, Eddie Henderson, Abdullah Ibrahim and Ornette Coleman to name a few. Kofi’s solo work, in particular his 2020 album ‘A Different Kind Of Soul’ and his recently reissued ‘Plays Monk’ cement his reputation as one of the UK’s most accomplished saxophonists.
The quartet includes Menelik Claffey, a young double bass player and composer. As part of the Tomorrow’s Warriors Quintet he has performed at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, the Barbican and Southbank Centre. And finally Matthew Holmes, a freelance drummer, composer and educator based in Birmingham who has become a notable figure amongst the UK jazz scene having performed extensively around the country at venues such as; The Barbican Hall, Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, and Pizza Express Soho as well as numerous TV and Radio appearances.
“As the final notes faded, attendees gave this special group of musicians an extended standing ovation – much deserved as all left the church with their cups full, spirits nourished, carrying forward the night’s message of transcendence and hope.” – Jazzwise
