Add to this the pop, soul, jazz fusion & bebop of his youth and you start to get a sense of his style & sound. Ian studied music at Liverpool University & jazz saxaphone at Birmingham Conservatoire. He is a regular on the Midlands jazz circuit, where he is involved with groups such as "Miles Davis With Words".
