Superlocrian is one of the UK’s foremost acoustic chamber jazz ensembles, renowned for its innovative sound, virtuosic musicianship, and creative collaborations that blur the boundaries between styles. Led by South West-based trumpeter/composer Sam Massey, the septet brings together top jazz soloists, composers, and session musicians. Collectively, the band’s members have performed alongside world-class artists including Becky Hill, RAYE, Dua Lipa, Claire Martin, Mike Westbrook, and Gareth Lockrane, showcasing their extraordinary versatility and experience.

Superlocrian’s performances feature a sophisticated blend of tastefully arranged jazz standards and vibrant new compositions by leading writers like Callum Au, Iain Ballamy, Laura Rossi, Freddie Gavita, Karen Street, Tom Green, and Sam Massey. Their repertoire combines precision and passion, balancing intricate chamber textures with the spontaneity and freedom of jazz. The ensemble has worked alongside composer Bob Chilcott and performed at prestigious venues and festivals including Pizza Express SoHo, Crazy Coqs, Bristol Jazz Festival and Sidmouth Jazz Festival.

In 2023, Superlocrian recorded their debut album Hills & Valleys at the legendary AIR Studios. Released on the Spark! Label, the album received critical acclaim and was featured live on Radio 3’s In Tune in 2024. Following this success, the band launches their Beyond the Hills & Valleys 2026 tour, which includes world premieres of new commissions.
