Sarah Spencer’s Transatlantic Band Described as ‘one of the exciting, new young breed of traditional jazz players and the hottest tenor saxophonist on the jazz today, ‘Sarah’s creed has always been to ‘play it Hot and Dirty’. Sarah started playing the clarinet at the age of 8 and the tenor sax at 15, later taking up the baritone, alto and soprano saxophones. She started playing on the British traditional jazz ascene at 18; was the youngest visitor to play in Preservation Hall, New Orleans at 19; and formed the first of her own bands at 20. In1989, Sarah Spencer’s Rue Conti Jazz Band was formed with the aim of playing New Orleans music from Piron to Professor Longhair” and became one of Britain’s popular bands.
