Jaeger/Mitchell/Hitchcock & Alex Hitchcock Quartet

Saxophonist and composer Alex Hitchcock presents a specially devised programme at World Heart Beat. The first set features a spontaneous, exploratory trio with acclaimed improvisers cellist/vocalist Midori Jaeger and pianist Robert Mitchell.

In striking contrast, the second set showcases Hitchcock’s dynamic working quartet — with Will Barry, Ben Tiberio and Ananda Brandao — fresh from developing new material at a long residency at Guimaraes Jazz Festival in Portugal. This one-off performance offers an insight into the creative arc leading to Hitchcock’s forthcoming album Letters From Afar, released in September 2025, and highlights the rich breadth of collaboration shaping his bold, evolving sound.

World Heart Beat Embassy Gardens is proud be a host venue once again at EFG London Jazz Festival 2025.
