Sam Braysher

Jazz Saxophonist

Welcome to the website of London-based alto saxophonist Sam Braysher.

Sam’s new album, his third as a band leader, was released in June 2024. Featuring an all-star London rhythm section and special guest vocalist Sara Dowling, That’s Him: The Music of Kurt Weill showcases fresh arrangements of lesser known works by the fascinating German-American composer, whose songs straddle the worlds of jazz, European classical music, musical theatre and opera.
