| Biography | Jon Shenoy is a saxophonist, clarinettist and composer/arranger living in South London. A talented improviser and creative spirit, he plays a wide range of music and leads a number of celebrated ensembles.
Having been born in the cultural mecca that is Stevenage (Herts) to an Indian doctor and an English nurse with a love for classical music it was inevitable that his contribution to the world would be a healing of sorts, a soul vaccination if you will.
Somewhat a stylistic chameleon, he balances a prolific contribution towards the contemporary sounds of the London jazz scene in the Ivo Neame Octet, Rory Simmons Fringe Magnetic, Arthur Leas Bootleg Brass, & his own hammond organ quartet, Draw By Four.
As a sought-after woodwind specialist he brings a stylistic awareness of pastiche and sensitivity to the likes of Claire Martins Hollywood Romance, the Heritage Orchestra, and his own King Candy & The Sugar Push. Recent concerts include the North Sea Jazz Festival and repeated sell-out shows at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club. |
