Sam Newbould
Born and raised in the Northern English countryside, Sam Newbould is a saxophonist, composer and bandleader based in Amsterdam. A prolific and multi award winning composer, his compositions combine a passion for storytelling with a clarity and originality described as "mind-blowing, sometimes introverted and intimate and then exuberant again" (SWN Talent Award, NL).
Newbould won the Keep an Eye Records Award 2019, and was the first recipient of the Rabobank So Who's Next Talent Award 2024. Drawing together some of Europe's finest young improvisers, his bandleading combines striking creative vision with "no shortage of world class talent" (UK Vibe). “The group dynamic is masterful and its inherent charm is thickly underlined on every arrangement” (Jazzism, NL). With a burgeoning international reputation, the quintet have been selected as a Jazzahead 2025 European Showcase artist, and have been invited to play North Sea Jazz Festival, Love Supreme Festival (UK), BIMHUIS (NL), and the Vortex (UK) amongst others.
