About Tony Kofi and Denys Baptiste Quintet

Two of the UK’s most acclaimed saxophonists, Denys Baptiste and Tony Kofi, reunite for a dynamic project celebrating one of the most iconic front-line partnerships in jazz history: Julian 'Cannonball' Adderley and John Coltrane. 

First collaborating in the early ‘90s as members of Gary Crosby’s influential Nu Troop, Baptiste and Kofi now bring their outstanding musicianship, deep rapport, and commanding stage presence, to a fresh tribute honouring the classic Cannonball Adderley Quintet in Chicago recording.
