Dutch showcase at jazzahead! 25
During jazzahead! 2025 we have to write the word showcase in the singular, but we are no less proud of our addition to the musical programme of jazzahead!
Sam Newbould Quintet
26 April 2025 – 22:30 – 23:00 | Kulturzentrum Schlachthof
From early years in the Yorkshire Dales, saxophonist Sam Newbould’s music studies took him to Berlin and Amsterdam, where he now lives as part of the vibrant scene, and leads a quintet which has performed at North Sea Jazz, Love Supreme and the Bimhuis. As a prolific and multi-award-winning composer, his compositions combine a passion for storytelling with a clarity and originality which traverse a range from introverted and intimate to exuberant. His third, newest album “Homing” (Zennez) has been called “a jazz pearl” by NRC Handelsblad. The album is inspired by – and named after – his temporary adoption of a Polish homing pigeon, as well as his own reflections on building a life abroad.
