About

Join Coach York, Al Swainger & Craig Milverton as they jazz with their special guest this month: Craig Crofton - an Anglo-American saxophonist and a dynamic presence on the UK music scene for over 30 years.
Renowned for the visceral excitement and power of his playing, Craig has developed a distinctive sound that makes him a standout performer across a range of musical genres. A protégé of Marcus Printup (Lincoln Center Orchestra), Craig has forged a unique musical identity while collaborating with a diverse roster of acclaimed artists.
His credits include performances and recordings with Kasabian, The Haggis Horns, Nitin Sawhney, This Is The Kit, DJ Suv (Reprazent), Crazy P, Dreadsquad, and Dub From Atlantis. He also leads and performs with some of Bristol's most vibrant bands, including Jazz Reggae Sessions, Baila LaCumbia, and Buena Bristol Social Club.
Craig's career has also seen him share stages with jazz legends such as Wynton Marsalis, Maceo Parker, Toots and the Maytals, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Jon Faddis, and Pee Wee Ellis. He has been featured on BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends and performed at iconic venues like Ronnie Scott's in London and The Blue Note in New York City.
