Linus Eppinger Quartet & Sam Braysher
Linus Eppinger is a guitarist born in Los Angeles, raised in Germany, and currently living in Amsterdam. He is a soulful jazz guitarist in the tradition of Wes Montgomery and George Benson. Eppinger was born in Los Angeles in 1995 into a musical family and began with violin before switching to guitar at age nine. He completed his bachelor's degree at Jazzcampus Basel studying with artists such as Peter Bernstein and Julian Lage and finished his master's degree at Conservatorium van Amsterdam, where Jesse van Ruller and Martijn van Iterson were among his teachers.
Eppinger's Linus Eppinger Quartet plays soul jazz and hard bop-oriented original compositions as well as beautiful classic ballads with an excellent rhythm section. The quartet released its debut album "Leaning In" in 2022 to critical acclaim. Eppinger and London-based alto saxophonist Sam Braysher became friends as members of REBOP, a collaborative pan-European quintet that toured in Great Britain, Spain, and Germany. Among Braysher's collaborative projects is a co-led quartet with Amsterdam guitarist Linus Eppinger.
Sam Braysher was born in 1989 and studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, where he graduated with distinction in 2011. Braysher, whose warm tone and consonant yet curious approach to harmony has attracted growing attention on the British jazz scene, has released three critically acclaimed albums to date. When leading his own bands, Sam is particularly interested in interpreting lesser-played pieces from the American Songbook and the jazz canon.
