Hannah Horton

Rising star of the UK jazz scene and Selmer-endorsed saxophonist Hannah Horton returns to Crazy Coqs this February with her formidable quartet, ahead of the release of her highly anticipated fourth album this spring.

Renowned for her bold, melodic voice, emotional honesty, and groove-rich sound, Hannah’s music is both deeply personal and instantly accessible – a rare balance that has earned her acclaim from critics, audiences, and peers alike. Her 2021 album Inside Out secured a Parliamentary Jazz Award nomination and established her as one of the most exciting new voices in British jazz.

Blending jazz with soul, folk and funk, Hannah’s sound is sophisticated, human and joyfully expressive. On stage, she ignites powerful chemistry with her quartet, whose intuitive interplay and bold improvisations light up every performance.

Her return to Crazy Coqs offers a rare chance to hear this magnetic artist up close – at a pivotal moment in her career.
