George Winstone

Born: June 17, 1994

Born in London, the rising star saxophonist George Winstone relocated to New York City in March 2019, bolstered by the endorsements of music legends Chick Corea, Jacob Collier, Ben Monder, and Chris Potter.

An artist whose technical prowess serves a decidedly spiritual commitment, Winstone is a powerful player and composer whose ensembles have been featured at London hotspots Ronnie Scott’s, Jazz in the Round at the Cockpit Theatre, the Verdict, and the Vortex, as well as in New York at the esteemed ShapeShifter Lab and Ornithology Jazz Club. After releasing his first EP in 2018, Outer Spaces, Winstone’s work met critical acclaim, with All About Jazz calling him a “future star in the making” and Bebop Spoken Here praising his “floating, ephemeral sound that drifts like a cloud.”
