Festa: Don Weller

The Legendary Don Weller is one of Europe's leading hard bop tenor sax players

Even a legend needs to start somewhere. Don began learning clarinet at the age of 14, and was classically educated on it for four or five years, soloing in Mozart's Clarinet Concerto at Croydon Town Hall when aged 15.
In the 1970s his jazz-rock group Major Surgery played only Weller's compositions. This was followed by a quartet with drummer Bryan Spring and working with Stan Tracey, and Art Themen. He has played with artists such as Alan Price, Tina May and Charlie Hearnshaw - pretty versatile legend.

Chris, Mick and George are a top class back line.
