About
The Brighton Italian Festival presents an intimate evening of contemporary jazz led by Italian-born, Brighton-based saxophonist, singer, and composer Betty Accorsi.
Taking place at the Horatio's Bar, located at the end of Brighton Palace Pier, this special performance combines exceptional live music with stunning sea views and a fully stocked bar — a unique coastal setting for an atmospheric jazz night.
Accorsi blends modern jazz, ECM lyricism, and European folk influences into melodic, narrative-driven compositions. Her sound reflects the spacious lyricism of John Surman and Pat Metheny, alongside the drive and harmonic imagination of Wayne Shorter.
She will present music from her latest album Nature Prints (2025) — awarded four stars by BBC Music Magazine for its "melodic, painterly sax lines" and "heartfelt singing" — together with selected Italian jazz classics reimagined through the quartet's contemporary, lyrical sound.
Joining her:
Dan Hewson — Piano
Andy Hamill — Bass
Joe Edwards — Drums
Together they create intimate yet cinematic jazz that resonates deeply with attentive audiences.
Whether you're a jazz enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable evening of live music by the sea, this concert offers a rare chance to experience one of Brighton's distinctive musical voices in a truly special setting.
