Biography

Kevin Figes is a British saxophonist, flutist, bandleader, composer and filmmaker based in Bristol. Forthcoming work includes compositions for piano, use of experimental methods and found sounds, writing of lyrics in song form and exploring a range of genres including contemporary classical, jazz, free improvisation, folk and rock. Figes began playing the saxophone in 1986 at the age of 22, studying with Elton Dean in London and later attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, studying with Tim Garland. He had a notable association performing and recording with Keith Tippett. Recent work includes 'Changing Times' (2020) by the Kevin Figes Quartet, which was described as 'A mind-expanding feast for the ears' and received a 4* review from Dave Gelly in The Guardian, and 'Wallpaper Music' (2021) (with the addition of Brigitte Beraha on vocals) which was described as 'A kaleidoscopic blizzard' by John Fordham in his 4* review for Jazzwise.
