John Kennedy and Graham Cordiner

John performs a selection of melodic pieces on a variety of different woodwind instruments in a range of different styles from classical favourites to easy-listening and popular standards. John's colourful repertoire showcases the often-underrated classical saxophone. Graham provides a lyrical and melodic accompaniment.
