A Tomorrow’s Warriors Emerging Artists, and already tipped as a rising talent on the British jazz scene by Jazz Wise in the summer of last year, saxophonist Maddy Coombs has been mentored by Binker Golding, Denys Baptiste and Gary Crosby.

Maddy has played alongside Judi Jackson, Soweto Kinch, Mark Kavuma, and The Silhouettes Project. Leading her own line-up, she has performed at a host of venues and festivals including Brighton Jazz Festival, We Out Here Festival, Pizza Express Soho, Spice of Life, and with Jazz:Refreshed, including their Sounds of 2025 event at London’s iconic Jazz Café.

Maddy is also building a reputation as a brilliant composer and arranger with her own music drawing inspiration from many artists including Joe Henderson, John Coltrane, Melissa Aldana and Joel Ross amongst others.

This performance is part of Tomorrow’s Warriors’ Warriors Rise initiative, which sees the acclaimed jazz talent development organisation support three emerging Warriors’ artists, including Maddy, across a seven-date run of UK gigs, providing tour planning and marketing mentoring.

Warriors Rise is a PRS Foundation Talent Development Network Partner initiative supported by PPL.
