Description

Described as a “virtuoso” by The Guardian, saxophonist and Ivor Novello-nominated composer Alex Hitchcock is a leading voice on the international jazz stage. Emerging from London’s fertile jazz scene and shaped by inventive collaborations across Europe, the US, and further afield, he has built an international reputation for music that balances real-world urgency with formal and stylistic exploration.

Following sold-out album launches in New York and London, Hitchcock tours a cutting-edge quartet performing music from his acclaimed new release, Letters From Afar, a sonic correspondence across emotional, geographic, and artistic distances.
