“I can’t think of another alto saxophonist with a sound quite like Sam Braysher’s” ****
Dave Gelly, The Observer
Sam Braysher has a special, distinctive sound to his alto playing: warm and subtle, expressive and thoughtful, with an approach to improvisation that combines melodic beauty and rhythmic deftness. In short, he is the real deal.”
Clarinet & Saxophone Magazine
“Trying to second-guess a long-gone composer’s intention is a risky exercise, and jazz improvisers usually exercise a free hand in interpreting the Great American Songbook. But 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.”
John Fordham, the Guardian
