Kim Cypher is one of the UK’s most exciting female saxophonists, vocalists and composers.
She developed her own unique ‘funky’ style of saxophone playing, built upon influences by great players such as Gerald Albright, Maceo Parker, Pee Wee Ellis, Andy Sheppard, Dean Fraser, Courtney Pine and Grover Washington.
Kim trained alongside American saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis (saxophonist with James Brown and Van Morrison) and internationally acclaimed jazz saxophonist Andy Sheppard. Kim’s vocal style has been influenced by the great Billie Holiday together with a wide range of vocalists including Imelda May, Caro Emerald and Liane Carroll.
Inspired by the funkier side of jazz, Kim’s style of performance is best described as ‘funky saxophonist meets 1940′s jazz singer’. Kim performs an eclectic mix of music spanning many genres with a quirky, jazzy twist together with her own original material, all packaged up in a captivating performance and warm stage presence.
Kim’s debut album Make Believe was released end of 2016, receiving a glowing review from London Jazz News and being featured on BBC Radio 2 Clare Teal’s show in August 2017.
Catch her live at The Stables in Wavendon on November 6, when she plays the final performance of her successful album tour, before her focus turns to the new release, planned for 2019.
