Jon Lloyd Music

My name is Jon Lloyd. I'm a jazz saxophonist and this is my new website. It tells you something about me, showcases my music, lets you know when and where I'm playing next, and talks about my work and other things that interest me. If you'd like to stay informed, sign up to receive email about upcoming events and new blog posts. And feel free to give me feedback whenever you like.

Take a minute to read some things people have said about my work:

“Powerful and magical music”

— Downbeat, USA

“Ambitious and virtuosic... Jon Lloyd is one of the most striking writers at the sharp end of British jazz and improvisation”

— John Fordham, The Guardian, UK
