Tim Garland (born 19 October 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 boundaries between modern jazz and classical concert music.
As a performer, he has worked widely both in Britain and elsewhere in the world, with particular highlights being a continuing collaboration with Chick Corea and his four year association with Bill Bruford.
As composer, he has fulfilled commissions from the LSO, the Northern Sinfonia,[2] BBC Concert Orchestra and Westminster Abbey Choir, as well as countless small and large jazz-based ensembles.
As a band-leader, he first achieved wide recognition with the jazz/folk crossover group Lammas (which included Don Paterson and Christine Tobin), going on to further success with a number of groups under his own name, the Dean Street Underground Orchestra, Storms/Nocturnes, Acoustic Triangle and his award winning Lighthouse Project.
In 2009 he won a Grammy for his part in creating "The New Crystal Silence" which celebrated Chick Corea and Gary Burton's famous partnership. He orchestrated five of Chick's famous pieces for the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
He was voted "Musician of the Year" by the 2006 All Party Parliamentary Jazz Appreciation Group.
Garland has also contributed to various pieces for Audio Network PLC and is involved in writing music for film and television.
