Sam Braysher Trio

Sam Braysher - alto saxophone

Sam Braysher, “whose warm tone and consonant and inquisitive approach to harmony is attracting growing attention on the British jazz scene”, (All About Jazz) is a London-based alto saxophonist, who has received widespread critical acclaim for his three albums to date.

Following on from a string of sold out gigs (including Ronnie Scott’s) and an album exploring the fascinating Berlin-to-Broadway songs of Kurt Weill, Sam’s next project takes a look at music by French film composer Michel Legrand. Expect to hear classic numbers and hidden gems from the Great American Songbook and jazz canon.

Joining Sam is rising star pianist Harry Ashworth and MOBO award-winning bassist Tom Farmer (EMPIRICAL).
