Saxophonist and composer Maddy Coombs is one of the rising stars of the new generation of UK jazz musicians. She is part of the Tomorrow’s Warriors Emerging Artist scheme who has rapidly become a regular feature of the London jazz scene and festivals / nights such as We Out Here and Jazz:Refreshed.


Her full-throated tone and freewheeling improvisations take inspiration from greats such as Joe Henderson, John Coltrane and Melissa Aldana; she has already played alongside artists of the stature of Soweto Kinch and Judi Jackson, to name a few. Today she leads a line-up of outstanding musicians – personnel to be confirmed as soon as possible.

This performance is part of Tomorrow’s Warriors’ Warriors Rise initiative, which sees the acclaimed jazz talent development organisation support three emerging Warriors’ artists, each given a seven-date run of UK gigs, plus tour planning and marketing mentoring. Warriors Rise is a PRS Foundation Talent Development Network Partner initiative supported by PPL.
