AuB is the fearless, sax-lead, brainchild of two of the most in demand UK musicians, Tom Barford and Alex Hitchcock.

AuB refers to the meeting and unity of two musical minds and instrumental styles melded into one group sound. The twin tenor tradition has a long history, but with AuB it’s the collaborative process and blending of ideas that drive their group sound.

Their first album featuring James Maddren and Ferg Ireland came out on the Edition Records label in 2020 to critical acclaim. They have since recorded their second album featuring the amazing Jasper Høiby on Bass and Marc Michel on Drums. Tom and Alex are really excited to bring the latest version of AuB to the Green Note during the EFG London Jazz Festival for a rare appearance. 

"AuB is actually doing something completely unique - something uncompromising and forward-looking...Rhythmically, melodically and sound-wise, this sounds so special...AuB has become a great collective that will be exciting to follow." - Nettavisen
