Recipient of the Worshipful Company of Musicians Young Jazz Musician of the Year Award, James works with premier ensembles across both jazz and classical music styles including the BBC Big Band, London Symphony & Royal Philharmonic Orchestras and as well as popular West End shows such as The Book of Mormon.

Allison Neale's West Coast Quartet are at Watermill Jazz, Reigate Road, Dorking, on Tuesday 1st Sept 2026. Doors open at 8pm, concert starts at 8:30pm.

Get your tickets from www.ticketsource.com/watermilljazz or from the box office 07415 815784 or on the door; tickets from £11 (Students) - £26 (members £21).

Seattle-born alto sax player and flautist Allison Neale is renowned for her cool, melodic alto sound reminiscent of the West Coast musicians working in California during the 1950s. As a true specialist and advocate of the style, her strong personal voice and authentic approach has awakened a fresh new interest in this lesser known aspect of the American Jazz idiom in recent years.

During her career, Allison has played alongside Duke Ellington vocalist Adelaide Hall, altoist Bud Shank, UK guitarist Dave Cliff and tenorist Scott Hamilton as well as featuring in the John Dankworth Generations Band. She has released four CDs as a leader and her most recent record on the Ubuntu label pairs her with world renowned New York guitarist Peter Bernstein, who visits Watermill Jazz with his own quartet later in the month.

Tonight Allison celebrates the music of her influences including Paul Desmond, Art Pepper and Bud Shank, showcasing rarely played arrangements from their historic quartets.

Joining Allison on piano is Eriko Ishihara. Hailing originally from Japan, she has established an enviable reputation both in the UK and the Far East for her tasteful and stylish playing, rooted in the tradition of pianists like the great Hank Jones.

'Allison plays the alto with a tone so light and airy that it positively melts at the edges' - Dave Gelly, Observer
