Ewan studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and is an inspirational player of countless jazz standards. He is a master of the clarinet which he took up at an early age. He’s engrossed himself in the history of jazz and blues.
What I realized was that the Jazz Age was a rave scene—just with live music.
Alyn Shipton, who was present as compère at Ewan’s JASG November 11 2023 performance which included ‘Premier Bal’ by Sydney Bechet, said:
… it moved me more than any Bechet piece I have heard in my life
He’s In huge demand in the UK and abroad and we are thrilled to have him play this concert with his sextet at St Giles’; his third and very much welcomed visit.
