Pizza Express Soho, London
BORN in West London in 1964 of Jamaican parents, Steve Williamson began playing saxophone at 16 and blew reggae with Misty in Roots before attending the Guildhall School of Music and joining the Jazz Warriors in 1984.
In 1988, he played with Courtney Pine at the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday concert at Wembley and in the South African-led bands of Louis Moholo-Moholo and Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath.
The Verve label released his marvellous Waltz for Grace album with Abbey Lincoln in 1990 and Rhyme Time two years later.
