Theo Travis & The Spin Band

Thursday 15th June 2023

Theo Travis: one of the most in-demand saxophonists across many genres makes a more-than-welcome return to The Spin to weave his mysterious, magical saxophonic spells for you. With a new album out by Soft Machine and world touring with this super-group, it is something of a coup for the club to have found this date within Theo’s hectic schedule!

Theo’s jazz career quickly got off the ground with his own quartet (featuring the brilliant David Gordon on piano) - which has since performed at Ronnie Scott’s over 75 times. Along with his jazz work, Theo became connected some years ago with the ‘prog’ and ‘jazz-rock’ world and has, to date, recorded on over 160 albums. In the latter category, anybody interested in this genre might have heard Theo during world tours with such luminaries as:

Gong

David Gilmour (Pink Floyd)

Robert Fripp

Steve Hillage

Soft Machine (with whom he continues to tour extensively with).

This is what The Guardian had to say about Theo:

“His spinning of sax adventures around a core of bluesy soulfulness has made him an engaging communicator”

Indeed! A bluesy, soulful night of happening saxophonic jazz is absolutely assured. It will be a treat to hear this tenor titan in such an intimate setting.
