Art Themen is Britain's greatest living 'Blues and Jazz' saxophonist. In the early 1960's he played with The Cyril Davies All Stars, and Alexis Korner's Blues Inc, before becoming every major Jazz artiste's 'guest' saxophone player of choice, playing at all the major Jazz venues across Britain with the likes of Dick Heckstall-Smith and Tubby Hayes, amongst a host of others. Art picks some of his favourite moments of music from Sonny Rollins to John Coltrane, and Nina Simone to Hoagy Carmichael. He plays Hoagy's Skylark live in the studio. Art recently played with Dino Coccia (The Barcodes) at The 606 Club in Chelsea. http://www.606club.co.uk

Art will also play at the 3rd Annual Cyril Davies Tribute Gig

Henry, thanks for the interview with Art Themen. I bought a Cyril Davis record when I was about thirteen and he's always appeared to have been neglected in the British blues scene. As a sax player myself it was great to hear Art talking about loads of great sax players that I've also enjoyed over the years which I haven't listened to in a while. Thanks Pete.
