Wizard saxophonist with terrific musical pedigree - tours with Prince, Amy Winehouse & Maceo Parker. Original music crosses genres. Superb vocalist Giulia Marelli.
Aaron Liddard is a wizard saxophonist, composer and band leader with a terrific musical pedigree. He’s toured with a galaxy of stars including Prince, Amy Winehouse, Beverley Knight and the Boomtown Rats.

But his true love is jazz and blues, working in and with big bands such as The London Jazz Collective and his own band.  Aaron’s eclectic take on music doesn’t lend itself to simple categorisation – and we say “Bravo!” for that.  Held in esteem by his peers, he hosted the successful UK Club Night jam session at Jazz Ahead, the annual European Jazz Showcase on Germany this year.

Aaron’s Nylon Man sextet features the beautiful vocals of Giulia Marelli .  The band’s live performances are highly musical and engaging, with every chance that audiences spontaneously clap, sing and dance! 

Aaron released his album Nylon Man to stellar reviews in 2022, leading to lots of radio airplay and major features in music journals such as Blues and Soul.

Line-up: Aaron Liddard tenor sax, Giulia Marelli voice, Davide Mantovani bass, Chris Jerome keys, Giulio Romano Malaisi guitar and Eric Young drums.

“All Aaron Liddard’s music is beautiful” – International Jazz Vocalist Flora Purim

“…something new to jazz. A hybrid of myriad sources. One is reminded of other British musical polymaths such as saxophonist Peter King” - Jazz Journal

“Michael Brecker-like power and intensity… a highly uplifting experience” - The Jazz Mann
