The Sam Braysher Quartet plays Kurt Weill and the American Songbook at Milestones Jazz Club

A Milestones debut for the young alto saxophonist with the warm-toned, delicate sound, exploring the work of Kurt Weill, the revered composer who lies at the intersection of classical, jazz, opera and musical theatre. Expect engaging and punchy renditions of classic songs by Weill, George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin, with support from a great all-star London rhythm section: Mike Gorman (piano), Oli Hayhurst (double bass) and Matt Fishwick (drums).

"I can’t think of another alto saxophonist with a sound quite like Sam Braysher’s”, The Observer

"Saxophonist Sam Braysher is like a breath of fresh air. He has an alto sound that doesn’t sound like anyone else, and is a throwback to the classic jazz of the 1950s with a contemporary twist", Jazz Views

"The warm-toned young London saxophonist 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", The Guardian
