Sean Khan is a British jazz saxophonist, flautist, and recording artist. With his unique blend of soulful melodies and captivating improvisations, he has established himself as a prominent figure in the contemporary jazz scene. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of musical influences, Sean's music transcends genres and creates an immersive experience for listeners.

Known for his expressive performances and virtuosic playing style, Sean Khan has garnered critical acclaim for his solo work as well as collaborations with renowned artists such as Tenderlonious, Oneness Of Juju, Kaidi Tatham, and Brian Jackson. His ability to seamlessly fuse elements of jazz, funk, and world music sets him apart from his peers.

With a discography that spans over several albums including "Palmares Fantasy" and "Muriel", Sean Khan continues to push boundaries and redefine the possibilities of jazz music. Whether performing on stage or in the studio, his passion for creating innovative sounds shines through in every note he plays.

Having emerged out of West London's broken beat movement in the '90's as bandleader of the cult soul / jazz outfit SK Radicals, Sean Khan's music holds a fascinating place in jazz's lineage. On 'Muriel', jazz greats 'Trane, Jaco, Herbie and Gil', are paid tribute to, as is Goya music, the label Sean attributes to kick-starting his recording career, as well as being a key facilitator of the broken beat movement as a whole. These references reflect Sean's unique musical standpoint: his axis of influence pivots between classic, free and Latin jazz and a specific sense of rhythm and experimentation drawn from his immersion in the broken beat scene. The masterful compositions on Muriel are teeming with technical prowess and drenched in soul with the help of some world-renowned vocalists including father of British Neo-Soul Omar, Brazilian musical icon Sabrina Malheiros and Heidi Vogel of the Cinematic Orchestra. Sean Khan's exquisite alto sax throughout the album demonstrates both his technical prowess and keen understanding of jazz's history, whilst continuing to carve out its future. The swing laden, percussive beats of Laurie Lowe and the underlying slung double bass lines of Mike Edmonds, lay the foundational groove for Sean's highly accomplished and expressive sax playing.
