With the Andy Urquhart Quartet (tenor saxophone)

A native of Perth, Western Australia, Brandon Allen has been UK based since 2000 and is now a familiar presence on the circuit performing with his own quartet or alongside Nigel Hitchcock and Mark Nightingale. He also teaches at the Guildhall School of Music, composes for film and television and is an in-demand session player. His most recent projects have included a Gene Ammons tribute with organist Ross Stanley.

“Brandon Allen is arguably the most exciting tenor player in Britain today. His phrasing is unashamedly emotional, soaked in the blues tradition.” Tony Hall (JAZZWISE)
