   About Jake Goss
I was born in London, but grew up in Bethesda, Maryland, near Washington DC. There I was taught saxophone and piano from a young age and, later on, in high school was involved in the all-state and all-county big bands, other jazz ensembles with my peers and various competitions we entered. I returned to the UK in 2000 to study at the University of Leeds and then the Royal Academy of Music. I currently live in London and am playing with and writing for a number of amazing young musicians, including the members of my quartet , Jake Goss's Banyan - Kit Downes/Rob Barron, Sam Lasserson and James Maddren. We recently released our debut album, 'Looking Up'. I've also had the opportunity to perform with Nathan Watts (Stevie Wonder), Jason Marshall (Roy Hargrove) Stan Tracey, Gerard Presencer, Soweto Kinch, Dave Whitford, Don Weller, Spike Wells and the National Youth Jazz Orchestra. --- "An ebullient, blazing soloist..." --- Chris Parker, The Vortex. ---- "Goss has put together a quartet that reflects his aesthetic admirably, both as performer and composer..."---Jazzreview.com, February 2008.

Alien Left Hand -- What the critics say:

"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine

“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew

"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun.
"
