Sara Dowling & The Sam Braysher Quartet

Sam Braysher is a London-based alto saxophonist who grew up near Norwich. With his warm tone and inquisitive approach, he is attracting growing attention in the British jazz scene. Sam is joined by award-winning Sara Dowling, one of Europe’s leading jazz singers.

Fresh from sold out shows at Ronnie Scott’s and the London Jazz Festival, the band is completed by an all-star rhythm section: virtuosic Hungarian pianist Matyas Gayer, ultra-swinging drummer Steve Brown, and in-demand Italian bassist Dario di Lecce.

Sam’s latest album explores the work of Kurt Weill, a fascinating composer who lies at the intersection of European classical music, jazz, opera and American musical theatre. Expect to hear swinging arrangements of classic songs such as My Ship and Speak Low, in addition to hidden gems from the Weill catalogue, and adjacent composers from the Great American Songbook.
