Tony Kofi is a highly regarded British jazz saxophonist and clarinetist, known for his work spanning hard bop, post-bop, and Afro-Cuban jazz influences. His playing is characterized by technical proficiency, melodic inventiveness, and a deep understanding of jazz traditions, frequently incorporating elements of his Ghanaian heritage into his compositions and improvisations. He leads several ensembles, including the Tony Kofi Quartet and the Nu Jazz Sextet, and has collaborated with numerous prominent figures in the UK jazz scene.

The concert is scheduled to take place at Grand Junction, a multi-arts venue located in Willesden Junction, London. Originally a railway maintenance depot built in the 1870s as part of the London and North Western Railway infrastructure, the building underwent significant redevelopment in 2015 to become a creative hub. It now houses artist studios, workspaces, and performance spaces.

Grand Junction specifically aims to support emerging and established artists across various disciplines – music, theatre, visual arts – providing affordable space and opportunities for development. The venue's performance area is designed to be flexible accommodating diverse event formats. The building’s industrial history remains visible within its architectural features contributing to its unique atmosphere.
