Henry Lowther

Event information

Henry is a trumpet player of formidable talent, and has been described by Jazz Journal as “having no superiors amongst European jazzmen, and precious few anywhere”. He is one of the unique and irreplaceable figures of British music and his beautiful trumpet and flugelhorn sound has graced British jazz for several decades.

Henry’s work on the jazz scene reads like a "Who's Who". He has played regularly with, amongst many others, Mike Gibbs, Michael Garrick, Graham Collier, Kenny Wheeler, Stan Tracey, John Taylor, John Surman, Gordon Beck and Pete King, and is one of only two or three trumpeters who have played lead trumpet with both Gil Evans and George Russell. He also leads his own quintet, Still Waters, and quartet The Great Wee Band. The Royal Academy of Music is awarding him an Honorary Fellowship at the beginning of May.

We are delighted that Henry is able to join us at the Cavern in a busy week as he celebrates his 70th birthday. The last of our current season, this is an evening not be missed! Advance booking recommended.
