Southampton Jazz Club with Brandon Allen & Alex Garnett

at The Stage Door

Brandon Allen & Alex Garnett

celebrating the tough tenors.

In this project, they celebrate one of jazz’s great traditions: the ‘Two Tenors’ — or, as they like to call it, the ‘Tough Tenors’. Drawing on both classic and contemporary recordings, Allen and Garnett explore the rich history of saxophone partnerships, reimagining the music through their own distinct voices.

The two tenor players will be celebrating one of the great traditions in jazz, the Tenor Battle.

For this particular project, a wide range of saxophone pairings will be celebrated and reimagined. See this youtube video!

Some of the more commonly known collaborations will include: -Dexter Gordon & Wardell Gray, -Johnny Griffin & ‘Lockjaw’ Davis, -Sonny Stitt & Gene Ammons, -Al Cohn & Zoot Sims. -John Coltrane & Stan Getz-Scott Hamilton & Flip Phillips
