The Alex Hitchcock Band

Thursday 14th July 2022

Fiery fare, folks, is what is promised for this gig, led by one of the brightest shining stars of the new jazz generation. Fiery fare, but also totally gorgeous, lyrical music written by Hitchcock. Just read how ‘All About Jazz’ summarised Alex’s last album:

“An exquisitely subtle collection of tunes - the clearest indicator to date of the stratospheric trajectory on which this super-talented quintet is indubitably headed”

The Spin fully concurs with the above quote! Hitchcock’s career is on a meteoric ascent; he has already played major jazz festivals, such as, last week, ‘Love Supreme’ (with our last incredible guest, trumpeter Alex Ridout!), Umbria Jazz Festival and the London Jazz festival. His band has sold out at Ronnie Scott’s and it has toured all over Europe to incredible critical acclaim.

For this gig, the line up comprises the following maestros:

Alex Hitchcock ~ saxophones

Will Barry ~ keys

Joe Downard ~ bass

Myele Manzanza ~ drums
