Award-winning, Selmer-endorsed saxophonist, composer and bandleader, Hannah Horton releases her brand new live album ‘Live In Soho’ at Toulouse Lautrec on April 26! Tickets here

Recorded at the iconic Pizza Express Jazz Club inSoho in front of a sold-out audience, ‘Live in Soho’ is full of energy, intoxicating excitement, with a beautiful flow of tracks. It features a selection ofHannah’s own compositions alongside her interpretation of songs that she holds close to her heart. Hannah’s baritone playing is both cheeky andlyrical. Listen to Las Vegas Tango to be transported toa smoky club in sin city, or the Horn Dance if you want to experience how a Morris Man on speed would feel, then cheer yourself up by soaring with the birds on Surfing Thermals.Hannah Horton’s band is a vibrant and energised quartet. As well as Hannah on baritone and tenor saxophone, it features Tim Lapthorn on piano, RobStatham on electric bass and Nic France on drums.The synergy between these razor-sharp musicians is apparent on first listen.

Hannah Horton is an artist who goes her own way. Herstrong, clear tone, powerful rhythmic sense and compelling sense of melody make her an unmistakable voice on the scene. As a bandleader, she has been working with the same group of talented musicians for fifteen years: as composer, she released her second album Inside Out in 2021to overwhelmingly positive reviews, receiving aParliamentary Jazz Award nomination for Best Newcomer:as a performer, she’s played at all of the UK’s most prominent jazz venues such as Ronnie Scott’s, The RoyalFestival Hall, the Barbican, and the 606 Jazz Club, selling out her London Jazz Festival shows. Recognition from the musical establishment has come in the form of awards,endorsements and diplomas, but it’s the way that audiences respond to her unashamedly positive, uninhibitedly personal music, and the emotional honesty of her accessible,engaging take on jazz that delivers the definitive accolade.Hannah’s music always prioritises melody and a sense of playfulness to create a very personal take on jazz that is informed equally by a strong affinity to groove. There are echoes of some of her favourites like Mark Lockheart andKeith Jarrett, and classical composers like Gerald Finzi - but ultimately there’s no-one else who sounds quite like her - aMelodic Maverick.
