Based in Amsterdam, the Sam Newbould Quintet won the prestigious Keep an Eye Records in 2019 and were selected artists at the InJazz Showcase Festival 2021. An “archetypal jazz outsider” (Jazzwise), their sound mixes the melodic lyricism of jazz and folk with progressive rock energy and explosive improvisations. Their last album, Bogus Notus (ZenneZ Records 2021), was inspired by the wildness of the northern English landscape, and received international praise as “compulsive listening” (All About Jazz). The group have been invited to perform at Europe’s top stages and festivals including the Vortex, BIMHUIS and Amsterdam Jazz Festival. The band are touring the UK, premiering new music for their third studio album to be released in 2024. The lineup includes Sam Newbould (alto saxophone), Bernard van Rossum (tenor saxophone), Xavi Torres (piano), Jort Terwijn (bass) and Guy Salamon (drums).
