About

As a finalist in the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2020, winner of the Rising Star category in the 2019 British Jazz Awards and three-time nominee in the Parliamentary Jazz Awards, Alex is known to be one of the most in-demand and versatile saxophonists to have emerged on the British jazz scene. Praised for her intelligent ear for harmony and a deep knowledge of repertoire across a broad spectrum of styles, Alex's sound is steeped in the tradition of bebop.

Alex's total respect for the heritage of the music can be heard in a fiery, melodic approach inspired by the likes of Phil Woods, Cannonball Adderley and Vincent Herring. She has worked alongside many notable names such as Alan Barnes, Alex Garnett, Alec Dankworth, Bruce Adams and Art Themen, and regularly works with prestigious big bands such as The Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Orchestra and The Simon Spillett Big Band.

As a bandleader, Alex's quartet features some of the UK’s finest musicians: David Newton, Dave Green and Steve Brown. In summer 2022, she released her latest album “Only A Year” and since then, her quartet have toured extensively around the country, appearing at jazz clubs and festivals including Swanage Jazz Festival and Scarborough Jazz Festival.

"One of the UK’s finest young jazz talents" – The Jazz Rag.

"Comfortable and inspired" - Scott Hamilton.

"Clarke is a rising star...and here is the evidence" - Jazzwise.

"Bathe in her command of rhythm and her gorgeous sound on alto and tenor" - All About Jazz.

“Leaves the listener captivated by every phrase and nuance”- Jazz Views.
