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.

For his third album for Far Out Recordings, London based multi-instrumentalist and one of Europe's finest saxophonists Sean Khan ventures to Rio de Janeiro to collaborate with iconic Brazilian polymath Hermeto Pascoal. Taking its title from the escaped slave settlement Palmares in the Northeast of Brazil during the 1600s, Palmares Fantasy is Khan's utopian jazz message for the world, and features Azymuth drummer Ivan Mamao Conti, bassist Paulo Russo, guitarist Jim Mullen, and guest vocals from Brazilian chanteuse Sabrina Malheiros, and Cinematic Orchestra frontwoman Heidi Vogel.

Like Hermeto Pascoal, Sean Khan is a self-taught musician. Never able to afford his original dream of studying at Berklee, and having been turned away from Guildhall School of Music for being "too raw", he became disillusioned with what he saw as the exclusivity, elitism and dangerous institutionalisation of the jazz world. Yet Sean's love for music and the drive to create never faltered.

Hermeto Pascoal, the man Miles Davis once dubbed "the most impressive musician in the world", is a similarly independent artist. A true maverick whose ingenuity and freedom from conventional restraints is so great that he has essentially conceived his own musical language, made him the dream collaboration for Sean.
