Saxophonist Courtney Pine C.B.E visits Taliesin with his critically acclaimed Transition in Tradition album set.

Courtney's 12th album not only pays tribute to the first great saxophone star, Sidney Bechet, but also marks several new forays into sound for the groundbreaking Jazz Warrior. Reviewed as some of his best work to date, the music was composed and evolved through a series of intimate shows in the UK during 2007, before Pine took his band into the studio to document and capture the energy that only a live audience can give. This will be the first extensive tour of the finished material.

Pulling together a heavyweight musical line-up that draws influences from Africa, the Caribbean, South America and Europe; the set is as deep rooted in the legacy of jazz, as it is reflective of their collective musical heritage.
