    James Allsopp is a multi-award-winning British saxophonist, clarinettist, composer, and educator, whose genre-spanning career includes leading the acclaimed ensemble Fraud and the trio The Golden Age of Steam. Their debut album was honored as “Best Newcomer” at the Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Awards in 2007, and Allsopp won the BBC Jazz Award for Innovation in 2008 londonjazznews.com+15ram.ac.uk+15jamesallsopp.net+15.

    Celebrated for his warm, fluid tone and improvisational versatility, Allsopp leads a chordless quartet playfully steeped in melody and lyrical nuance—most recently exploring the repertoire of Stan Getz with breathtaking clarity and swing thejazzmann.com.
