Back by popular demand Adrian Cox is back – A full-house in 2024 resulted in many requests to get this virtuoso of clarinet and band mates back to the National Jazz Festival again – it was a very easy decision. This act is simply amazing – you really do not want to miss it!
Internationally acclaimed clarinetist Adrian Cox is a leading authority on New Orleans music, known for his authentic, electrifying style, masterful technique, deep historical knowledge and infectious stage energy. His unrivalled feel for early jazz has led to performances with major artists, including two concerts with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in London and New York.
Cox tours with his exceptional Trio featuring NZ-born guitarist Honey Boulton and Parisian bassist Alex Gilson—a world-class powerhouse that leaves audiences spellbound. Club Croco explores alternative early-jazz repertoire, capturing the era’s essence with charisma, flair and a fresh modern slant.
Renowned for his audience engagement and virtuosity, Cox has earned widespread acclaim, hailed by Time Out as “London’s most charismatic reedsman” and by Jamie Cullum as “indisputably one of the great clarinetists of the world.” Now based in Sweden, he is touring the new work across Scandinavia, Europe, New Zealand and Australia, with multiple dates confirmed.
