Alex Hitchcock
New York-based, London-born Alex Hitchcock is a leading voice on the saxophone on the international stage.
An Ivor Novello-nominated composer and described by The Guardian as a ‘virtuoso’ saxophonist, Alex Hitchcock's innovative collaborations have confirmed his growing reputation as an instigator and catalyst for captivating musical encounters that continually push the envelope a little further.
Described by France Musique as 'an absolutely fascinating musician' and 'an incredible saxophonist' by Walter Smith III, he tours and records trailblazing musicians in new combinations for his DREAM BAND series. The second volume Live in London was Jazzwise Editor's Album of the Year 2023 and featured in All About Jazz's 2023 Must Haves.
The acclaimed saxophonist's band supporting his new album release features stars of the New York jazz scene Dave Adewumi (Jason Moran, Ingrid Jensen), Lex Korten (Melissa Aldana, Tyshawn Sorey), Harish Raghavan (Ambrose Akinmusire, Ben Wendel) and JK Kim (Aaron Parks, Dayna Stephens).
Ridiculous technique and harmonic proficiency combined with progressive creativity that sees him leading the charge in terms of new jazz music being created in the UK.
Already a big presence on the British scene as an astonishingly quickthinking virtuoso.
