Sam Braysher/Linus Eppinger Quartet

He is joined by special guest Linus Eppinger, a young guitarist who takes inspiration from the bluesy swagger of Wes Montgomery and George Benson and is now one of Amsterdam's busiest musicians.

2026 sees Sam and Linus releasing an album on the iconic Spanish label Fresh Sound New Talent. With a sound rooted in the classic swinging jazz of the '50s and '60s, their varied repertoire on A Sinner Kissed an Angel includes music associated with Horace Silver, Dusty Springfield, Benny Goodman, George Cables and Frank Sinatra.

The pair are joined by a truly world class rhythm section: Eric Ineke, a legend of Dutch jazz, whose hard-swinging beat has accompanied Dexter Gordon, George Coleman, Al Cohn, Johnny Griffin, Barry Harris and so many others; and Darryl Hall, the powerful American double bassist who won the Thelonious Monk jazz prize before working with Cedar Walton, Ravi Coltrane and Carmen Lundy.

""I can’t think of another alto saxophonist with a sound quite like Sam Braysher’s” " - Dave Gelly, The Observer
