Details
## KAIYO and the FOX in Palmers Green present: Mark Lockheart
# "...one of Britain's most accomplished saxophonists... consistently significant and fascinating" All About Jazz
Mark Lockheart is one of the most distinctive and creative musicians on the current British music scene. As a saxophonist and composer, his work often defies categorisation and crosses the boundaries of the jazz, new music and folk worlds. "Lockheart is a consummate saxophonist and a original and versatile composer" The Rough Guide to Jazz.
Mark Lockheart holds improvisation at the heart of his compositional practice. He takes ideas that appear through the natural process of playing his primary instrument, the saxophone, and develops these into more substantial forms. He often uses existing material as inspiration, taking fragments of music, manipulating and deconstructing the harmony, melody and rhythm, then reconstructing them into new compositions.
Mark came to prominence in the mid 1980s with the influential and radical big band Loose Tubes, which he toured with throughout the USA and Europe and recorded with until its demise in 1989. The late 1980s also saw Mark composing and touring his own music, performing three times at Ronnie Scott's in London, and at festivals in Vienna, Paris and Berlin. Around this same time Mark was seen touring with Annie Whitehead and Roger Dean's Lysis.
In 2016 Mark was awarded Jazz FM Instrumentalist of the year at the Jazz FM Awards and was nominated for the British Composer Awards for his composition ’With One Voice’.
