About Me

The music I have posted here is a mixture of live contemporary Jazz with my Quartet and from the upcoming album with Pedalmania (John Paul Gard and Eddy John), Route A66. There is also some studio based stuff I have done. I hope you enjoy some of it.....
As a musician I have been involved in some varied things over the years - but highlights include working alongside musicians and bands such as Dave Stapletons Quintet, Keith Tippett, John Etheridge, Steve Waterman, Damon Brown, Andy Sheppard, Sirius B, Alan Barnes, Andy Hagues Quintet and Big Band, Jim Blomfield, Jeff Spencer, Jerry Crozier Cole, Morningstar, Invisible pair of Hands and hammond organist John Paul Gard. I have also played and/or recorded with bands Portishead, Goldfrapp, Kasabian and Ilya, and have done some playing on a forthcoming Ninja Tune release with John Matthius. I recently worked for composer Richard G Mitchell playing clarinet on the soundtrack for the film 'A Good Woman'. There is a biog on my website.... www.benwaghorn.co.uk .... if you're interested
The Jazz Quartet and Pedalmania play Jazz Venues and Festivals all over the country. The quartet features pianist Jim Blomfield, bassist Riaan Vosloo and drummer Andy Hague. Pedalmania as above. I play saxes, bass clarinet and flute, and the material that we play is a mixture of original tunes - you can listen to some mp3s on here - and standards. ....click here for some more musical bits and bobs....
