Adrian Cox: The Wonderful World of Clarinet

The internationally-acclaimed jazz clarinettist Adrian Cox, at age 39 is certainly at the top of his game. He was nominated for 2 Parliamentary jazz awards last year including “Jazz Instrumentalist” & “The Lockdown Innovation Award”

In 2018, Adrian was invited to perform with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra at London’s famous Barbican Centre, playing the music from the Benny Goodman 1938 Carnegie Hall concert. Cox then went on to perform in New York at the gala concert celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Lincoln Centre, and was amongst guests including the great Tony Bennett.

As a performer, Adrian has the ability to engage with his audience both on and off-stage, with an unrivalled feel for the music he plays, which combined with his virtuosic technique has lead him to wide critical acclaim including Time Out declaring him “London’s most charismatic reedsman”.
