Get ready for some soulful storytelling and electric jazz vibes with Hannah Horton and her amazing quartet live in action!

Named by Jazzwise as one to watch in 2026, Hannah Horton is an award winning saxophonist, composer and official Selmer Artist with a distinctive voice on the UK Jazz scene. Her music blends lyrical melody, groove and emotional storytelling, shaped by the expressive range of both the tenor and baritone saxophones.

Her new album Stories on the Wind was recorded live at Red Kite Studio in the Welsh hills with Sam Leak, Rob Statham and Steve Taylor. Written around feelings, memories and moments in life, the album captures a band playing with space, honesty and trust, placing Hannah’s tenor and baritone saxophones at the centre of a deeply personal collection of original music.

The release follows growing national attention for Hannah’s music, including Jazz FM playlisting, BBC Radio 3 airplay, a Jazzwise Taking Off feature naming her One to Watch for 2026, and a four-star review from All About Jazz. Her recent work has taken her to venues including Pizza Express Jazz Club, Crazy Coqs, London Jazz Festival, Leeds Jazz Festival and Scarborough Jazz Festival.

Alongside her work as an artist and bandleader, Hannah is an award-winning educator and the founder of J Steps, a youth jazz ensemble for female and non-binary musicians. She won the Parliamentary Jazz Award for Jazz Education of the Year for her work supporting the next generation of improvising musicians.
