Art Themen has won the best tenor sax player in the British Jazz Awards and has been featured with the majority of established figures on the UK jazz scene. In addition he has played alongside American legends including Philly Joe Jones, George Coleman, Red Rodney, Al Haig, Charlie Rouse, Bud Shank, Nat Adderley, Arturo Sandoval, Sal Nistico, Scott Hamilton, Eric Alexander et al. Outside the jazz scene he has accompanied such diverse artists as Mick Jagger, George Harrison, Rod Stewart, Jack Bruce, Joe Cocker, Chuck Berry, Alexis Korner and, even Bing Crosby!
“Themen is one of the very few totally original, utterly engaging jazz musicians around” – THE OBSERVER“
He has received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Worshipful Company of Musicians and recently was shortlisted for Jazz Musician of the Year in the Parliamentary Jazz Awards.
Finally, by an incredible stroke of luck he’s managed to acquire Ronnie Scott’s tenor sax which has the additional provenance of possibly being owned by Hank Mobley, one of the all time tenor saxophone greats.
