Sam Braysher’s new project explores the work of Kurt Weill, a fascinating composer who lies at the intersection of European classical music, jazz, opera and American musical theatre.
The London based jazz saxophonist, a regular performer at jazz clubs across Europe, has received international acclaim for his warm, delicate sound and deep knowledge of the standard repertoire and American Songbook.
He is joined by an all-star London rhythm section: rising star Hungarian pianist Matyas Gayer (Eddie Henderson, Jim Rotondi). ultra-swinging drummer Josh Morrison (Stacey Kent, Rob Barron), and bassist Tom Farmer (EMPIRICAL, Anoushka Shankhar, Joe Stilgoe).
Expect to hear swinging renditions of classic songs by the composer of “September Song” and “My Ship” and hidden gems from the Weill catalogue in addition to music by adjacent American Broadway composers like George, Gershwin and Cole Porter.
