About This Event

Jazz Emu presents The Pleasure Is All Yours, a music performance at Nottingham Playhouse on 8 October 2026. The show follows a six-year-old’s early encounter with a saxophone and an unconventional teacher.

At the age of six, Jazz Emu fell in love with a second hand saxophone and proudly took it to a trial lesson. Within a minute the teacher had decided that Jazz’s hands were unusually small, and his shiny brass hopes were crushed with a plastic beginner’s clarinet. Several years of funk-repressed classical training followed, with the groove bubbling pianissimo under the surface. When he finally heard the syncopated hi-hats in Bill Withers’ Use Me, there was no going back.
