Alexandra Ridout - trumpet

Alexandra Ridout won the BBC Young Musician Jazz of the Year, 2016 at the age of 17. Commenting on her success that night, jazz broadcaster, pianist and panel chair Julian Joseph said “We were enchanted by Alexandra’s presence as a musician, her sound, but I think most importantly there was a relationship with the blues and swinging that sounds important in her playing”
In 2017 she was delighted to be chosen by British jazz luminary Clark Tracey to perform in his ‘Tribute to Stan Tracey’s Hexad’ during 2017 and from early 2018 has been a member of his latest quintet, who are to be seen regularly performing all over the country promoting their recent album, ‘No Doubt’.
In November 2018 Alexandra won the ‘Rising Star’ category in The British Jazz Awards and in October 2019 (aged 20) was named as one of The Evening Standard’s ‘London's Most Influential People 2019 – 25 future faces, 25 and under’. She performed twice in the 2018 BBC Proms, as a featured guest for ‘40 Years of The BBC Young Musician’.
Alexandra is a past member of NYJO and is in demand as a professional trumpet player, performing with a wide range of line ups including family band ‘The Ridouts’, The Capitol Orchestra, Matthew Herbert Brexit Big Band, Clare Teal’s Mini Big Band, Guy Barkers Big Band and Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Orchestra.
She’s joined by her father, guitarist Mark Ridout, for this performance.
Mark is an experienced musician having performed in many of the UK’s major jazz venues and festivals with such names as Jimmy Smith, Barbara Dennerlein, Tony Martin, Natalie Cole, Jane Monheit, Eddie Parker, Diane Schuur and many more.
