Will Vinson

Originally from London, alto saxophonist and composer Will Vinson moved to New York City in 1999. Since then, he has performed, toured, and recorded with a host of acclaimed artists, including Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Ari Hoenig, Marcus Gilmore, Chris Potter, Kurt Elling, Lage Lund, Aaron Parks, Miguel Zenón’s Identities, and many others. Will has earned an international reputation both as a bandleader and a sought-after sideman.

All About Jazz New York describes Will as playing “with a relentless force.” Thomas Michelsen of Denmark’s Politiken praises this “very exciting saxophonist” and his “beautiful, softly modulating tone,” while John Fordham of The Guardian highlights a “superb solo of rugged leathery sounds turning into mellifluous high notes,” marked by “secure control and storming energy.” Time Out London calls Will an “exciting young altoist with a lethal approach to writing and soloing.”
