⊹
“These compositions bristle with virtuosity … impressive and moving.” – Jazzwise
⊹
Described as a “virtuoso” by The Guardian, saxophonist and Ivor Novello-nominated composer Alex Hitchcock is a leading voice on the international jazz stage. Emerging from London’s fertile jazz scene and shaped by inventive collaborations across Europe, the United States, and further afield, he has built an international reputation for music that balances real-world urgency with formal and stylistic exploration.
This is music for curious, open-minded listeners drawn to art at the edge of beauty and disruption. Fans of Caroline Davis, Tyshawn Sorey, or Peter Evans will find familiar terrain—though this is a group never content to stay in one place for long.
