"A stunning virtuoso" - Ivan Hewitt, Daily Telegraph

Tim Garland (born in 1966) is a British jazz saxophonist, composer and band‐leader. He is also known for his innovative bass clarinet playing and for his prolific output as composer, blurring the boundary between modern jazz and classical concert music. 

As a performer, he first made international waves playing saxophone, bass clarinet and flute with Chick Corea.  He has orchestrated five of Chick’s best loved pieces for “The New Crystal Silence” which Chick has won the 2009 Grammy for the best instrumental jazz CD.  He was also featured with Bill Brufords Earthworks for over four years.  He is also active in the world of production music for film and TV.
As composer, Tim Garland has written for the LSO, RPO, Sydney Symphony, Boston Pops, Lincoln’s Symphony Nebraska, the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Northern Sinfonia, Westminster Abbey Choir and many other ensembles that appreciate his eclectic vision, he likes to refer to his wide- ranging output as a “Diverse Unity”.
