Performance NotesTony Kofi and the Organisation play the Elgar Room as part of the Royal Albert Hall’s Grand Organ Celebration, a day celebrating our world-famous 9,999 pipe, Henry Willis Organ.

Featuring British-jazz legend Tony Kofi on baritone saxophone and the iconic tones of a vintage Hammond organ, they perform a combination of high energy modern jazz, blues and funk including many rarely played classics by George Russell, Woody Shaw, and Pepper Adams.

They have performed throughout London and the UK including at the Southbank Centre as part of the Pull Out All The Stops festival of organ music.

Tony Kofi and the Organisation’s debut album Point Blank will be released in Spring 2018.

Cabaret style seating for this event.
