Sam Braysher Quartet featuring Linus Eppinger

Event information

Sam Braysher - alto saxophone
Linus Eppinger - guitar
Dave Green - double bass
Steve Brown - drums

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.

He is joined by special guest Linus Eppinger, a young guitarist who takes inspiration from the bluesy swagger of Wes Montgomery and George Benson and is now one of Amsterdam's busiest musicians.

2026 sees Sam and Linus releasing an album on the iconic Spanish label Fresh Sound New Talent. With a sound rooted in the classic swinging jazz of the '50s and '60s, their varied repertoire includes music associated with Horace Silver, Dusty Springfield, Benny Goodman, George Cables and Frank Sinatra.

The pair are joined by a classic rhythm of British jazz: ultra-swinging drummer Steve Brown (Scott Hamilton, Barry Harris), and double bass legend Dave Green, who has accompanied Sonny Rollins, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins and so many others.
