About

Courtney Pine (born 18 March 1964) is a British jazz musician. At school he studied clarinet, although he is known primarily for his saxophone playing. Pine is a multi-instrumentalist, also playing the flute, clarinet and keyboards.

His recent music has attempted to integrate modern British music like drum and bass and UK garage with contemporary jazz styles. He runs his own band and integrates many comtemporary musicians in his performances. He also presents 'Jazz Crusade' on BBC Radio 2, the seventh series being broadcast during spring 2007.

Pine was awarded an OBE in 2000 for services to jazz.

He was also awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Westminster (06/12/04).

He made a guest appearance in the 1988 Doctor Who story Silver Nemesis.
