Steve Williamson and Pat Thomas at the 2011 London Jazz Festival

Jez Nelson presents a duet performance given by saxophonist Steve Williamson and pianist Pat Thomas at the 2011 London Jazz Festival 2011.

Jez Nelson presents a duet performance by saxophonist Steve Williamson and pianist Pat Thomas, recorded at the London Jazz Festival 2011. The concert marks a rare return to the big stage for Williamson, who ceased to perform regularly in the mid 1990s. He made his name a few years earlier as one of the founding members of The Jazz Warriors, going on to record with the likes of Archie Shepp and the Brotherhood of Breath big band, and influenced by hip-hop and reggae as well as M-Base saxophonist Steve Coleman. Pat Thomas first played with Derek Bailey and Lol Coxhill in the early 1990s and continues to be at the heart of the London and Oxford improvising scenes.
