Dean Stockdale Quartet With Strings - Buxton International Festival

Following an acclaimed performance last year, the Dean Stockdale Quartet returns with a new set for a very special evening to honour the one and only Oscar Peterson. Born 15 August 1925, 2025 marks the legendary jazz pianist’s 100th birthday.

This show will feature the quartet and some special guests – Alan Barnes, sax, Mark Armstrong, trumpet, Emily Masser, vocals, and the Amika string quartet – performing new arrangements of Oscar’s music.
