Event information

Born and raised in London, guitarist Karim Saber is steadily building a profile as both a performer and composer to watch. Known for his instrumental prowess and creativity, he is in demand as a sideman and regularly tours throughout Europe as part of the Lukas De Rungs Quintet/Kosmos Suite project. His group features some of the most in demand and creative young musicians in London and released it’s debut album ‘Transmission’ in January 2024 through UK based label Ubuntu Music.



‘Amidst the many London guitarists, Karim Saber is one who’s playing I am most excited about. He’s got ferocious chops, a great repertoire and I really enjoy his writing’ - Ant Law



‘Karim is one of the most recognisable and distinctive guitarists to emerge on the UK jazz scene in recent years. His compositions, tone and ideas are unique to him and I absolutely love this new album he has put together. I think he will be a much sought after play once audiences get a chance to hear this beautiful set of original tunes’ - Chris Montague




‘From the opener, Blossom, it’s evident that Saber already has virtuosic abilities’ - Jazz Journal



'The deep connection these young lads share is enviable, with each one of them locked in and focused on a mutual cause’ - Presto Music
