‘’Barnes plays music that was radical 50 years ago but he infuses it with so much passion and energy you could believe it was minted on the spot, which is always part of the story with jazz.” – 𝑱𝒐𝒉𝒏 𝑳. 𝑾𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒏.

We can’t wait for Alan to bring his quintet to Hafan and finally also meet his counterpart Bruce and fellow musicians! We vouch for the quality of this performance with our personal experience and encourage all of you, seasoned Jazz Aficionados and total novices to the genre to join us for an evening of 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐬𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐣𝐚𝐳𝐳 by an unsurpassed maestro of Bebop!
