KIM CYPHER
‘CATCHING MOMENTS’
NEW ALBUM
Accessible and classy music with a very wide appeal.
– London Jazz News
British jazz saxophonist, vocalist, composer and band leader Kim Cypher releases her third album Catching Moments on November 22nd 2024. The album is a continuation of Kim’s ‘Brighter Tomorrow’, a collaborative project started during COVID lockdowns to showcase all those who work in the arts, and demonstrate their unbending passion, drive, resilience and dedication to their craft.
Kim is one of the UK’s most beloved jazz musicians. As a figurehead of independent arts in Britain, her work extends to furthering the reach of grassroots musicians by means of collaboration and independent concert promotion, working with the Women In Jazz Media collective, and her weekly radio show ‘The Big Jazz Hullabaloo’ hosted by Kim and her husband Mike every week on Jazz Bites Radio. Her charity single releases have seen thousands of pounds raised across multiple campaigns, simultaneously drawing attention to some of the most talented players residing in the UK and abroad.
The rich tones of Kim’s signature tenor saxophone playing offers nods to both of her mentors; the legendary jazz saxophonists Andy Sheppard and Pee Wee Ellis. The album covers a lot of genre-ground, from bossa to swing, and is already receiving attention from Jazzwise, Jazz FM, and BBC Radio 3, and she recently sold out her second Ronnie Scott’s concert.
The album is a showcase for an all-star cast of global musicians including guitarist Antonio Forcione, double bass player Raph Mizraki, percussionist Karl Vanden Bossche, drummer Mike Cypher, and special guest performers including pianist and vocalist Liane Carroll, saxophonist and vocalist Ray Gelato, and trombone player Ashley Slater. With Kim’s sublime production and tasteful arrangement giving space to each instrument, the musicians playfully syncopate and solo through this offering diverse in genre and tempo.
The twelve tracks on the album, including ten originals, are inspired by world and personal events of the past few years and focuses around catching precious moments in life. Kim and her band showcased many of these songs and more at her recent Ronnie Scott’s date.
