Sam Braysher ft. Annie Majin: Kurt Weill and the American Songbook @ Crazy Coqs
click to share
Sam Braysher, “whose warm tone and consonant and inquisitive approach to harmony is attracting growing attention on the British jazz scene”, (All About Jazz) is a London-based alto saxophonist, who has received international critical acclaim for his three albums to date. He is joined by a rising star of London’s thriving jazz scene: Annie Majin, fresh from her West End musical theatre debut, whose charming, powerful voice is inspired by Barbara Streisand, Blossom Dearie and the sounds of classic Broadway shows.
Accompanying is an all-star rhythm section, comprising Hungarian pianist Matyas Gayer (Eddie Henderson, Jim Rotondi), award-winning bassist Andrew Robb (Julian Joseph, WDR Big Band) and ultra swinging drummer Steve Brown (Barry Harris, Scott Hamilton).
Sam’s latest album explores the work of Kurt Weill, a fascinating composer who lies at the intersection of European classical music, jazz, opera and American musical theatre. Expect to hear classic songs such as “My Ship” and “September Song” in addition to hidden gems from the Weill catalogue and music by adjacent American Broadway composers like Rodgers & Hammerstein, Gershwin and Harold Arlen.
