Courtney Pine presents « Out of the Ghetto: A Modern Day Jazz Story »

Courtney Pine CBE has been central to the transformation of the British jazz scene over the past four decades. A saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist, he has led a generation of players who have broadened jazz's reach and connected it with wider audiences.

Celebrating four decades in British jazz, Courtney Pine returns with Out of the Ghetto: A Modern Day Jazz Story, a retrospective tour, at Band on the Wall on 21 June 2026 at 6:00 pm.

From his debut Journey to the Urge Within to his Mercury-nominated Modern Day Jazz Stories and the House of Legends project, Pine has explored what it means to be a jazz artist in the UK. Blending the spiritual legacy of jazz with the pulse of reggae, soul, hip-hop, and drum & bass, his music reflects the story of a generation and a nation finding its voice through sound.

This live show brings together key moments from Pine's catalogue, alongside previously unreleased material reimagined for the stage.

Out of the Ghetto: A Modern Day Jazz Story reflects the resilience, creativity, and community that have shaped Pine's journey.
