Sam Braysher
Welcome

Thanks for visiting my website. I'm a freelance jazz saxophonist and teacher based in London.

See below for news...


Note: I play at lots of private and corporate events, parties, weddings, civil partnerships, etc. If you this is something you might be interested in please get in contact and I'd be happy to provide demo tracks specifically recorded with this sort of thing in mind, sample repertoire lists and testimonials from former clients, as well as answering any questions you might have.

Mark Turner interview

 I was fortunate enough to get to do a little email interview with Mark Turner, which is published in the August 2012 issue of Jazz Journal. Mark is one of my favourite contemporary saxophone players, and someone who I know has influenced a lot of young musicians of my generation, so it was great to chat to him. The piece was ostensibly a preview for the new FLY Trio album, but I also got to ask him about some other topics, including his own influences and an exciting-sounding new quartet. You can read the article here.
