Spike's Place presents Sam Braysher Qt
'The warm-toned young altoist Sam Braysher is a prize-winning investigator of the early recordings and published music of Jerome Kern, Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington and many others, and imagines a new jazz closely attuned to an old world.' John Fordham, the Guardian

About the Event
London-based alto saxophonist Sam Braysher has received widespread acclaim for the two albums released under his own name, both of which feature renowned international collaborators. Golden Earrings, with American pianist Michael Kanan, was described as “delightful and surprising” by Dave Gelly in the Observer, while his recent trio album with Jorge Rossy (Brad Mehldau Trio) and Tom Farmer, was praised in Jazzwise as “a triumph of intelligence and sentiment”.
When leading his own bands he takes a particular interest in interpreting lesser-played items from the American Songbook and jazz canon.
His quartet today comprises the fine, inventive pianist Mathias Gayer, and a rhythm section to die for: the doyen of British bassists Dave Green, and drummer Steve Brown.
