Alex Clarke’s Quartet features some of the finest names in British Jazz – with  Alex on sax, Dave Newton, on piano, the legendary Dave Green onbass and Steve Brown drums. They play a mixture of innovative arrangements of standards, original compositions and music by the likes of Phil Woods and Paquito D’Rivera, Alex’s melodic sound showcases an authentic homage to the art of straightahead bebop.

As a finalist in the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2020, winner of the Rising Star category in the 2019 British Jazz Awards and nominee in the Parliamentary Jazz Awards 2021 & ‘22, Alex Clarke is known to be one of the most in-demand and versatile young saxophonists emerging on the British jazz scene.

As a session musician, Alex has recorded for projects ranging from folk to Northern soul, including recent sessions at the prestigious Abbey Road Studios in London. As a confident multi-instrumentalist – saxophones, flute and clarinet – and reader, Alex is experienced at working in pit bands for musical theatre productions.
