About this event
Over the last decade and a half Fraser Smith has built a fiery reputation as a leading tenor saxophonist on the UK scene. With a focus on swing and the straight ahead he channels the sound and language of the “big US Tenor men” and his debut album “Tiptop!”, released on Ubuntu Records, amassed an impressive 1.3 million streams. He includes work alongside the likes of US artists Harry Allen, Pat O’Leary, Chuck Redd and most recently here at the Club with iconic US bass player Chuck Israels’ (John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Stan Getz, Bill Evans) European quartet. Fraser’s most recent album “Lifeline!” was added to The Times and Jazzwise 'Best Jazz Albums of 2025' lists, receiving a glowing 4 star review from each. Aside from his busy UK schedule Fraser continues to perform internationally, including clubs in Portugal, China, Beijing, Brussels, Paris, Mexico and more. Also featured tonight: Alex Bryson -piano, Simon Read -bass & Steve Brown -drums. "Smith...Nonchalantly confident and very hard swinging" London Jazz News

Same kind of night (music) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.

Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
