Pete Lukas

A mainstay on the London jazz scene for many years, Pete Lukas has performed in a wide variety of settings alongside many of the biggest names in British and worldwide, including Steve Fishwick, Leon Greening, and New York baritone saxophonist Gary Smulyan. Over the years he has played alto and tenor saxophone, but his main horn is the baritone sax which he plays with a gutsy full sound reminiscent of his main influence, Pepper Adams. “He blows the hard bop tune with ferocity without letting the pace slip pass by some interesting ideas”—allaboutjazz
