Guilhem Fourty & Brahm Sasner Quartet

The New Jazz Giants The Toulouse, France native, Guilhem Fourty, now based in NYC, has built a profile that combines headline billing, top-tier festival work, and a string of awards that mark him as a leading artist of his cohort. Fourty is not only a drummer who keeps impeccable time. He is a leader shaping sound and structure, moving with ease from neighborhood clubs to the largest jazz festival in the world, and from civic concerts to international tours. In a crowded field, that breadth—and the depth behind it—marks him as a major artist on the rise. Every four years the American Piano Awards identifies five emerging jazz artists and highlights their talent throughout a year long competition culminating in the Cole Porter Fellowship prize. Brahm Sasner is a 2027 American Piano Awards Finalist. Brahm is a 2026 graduate of the prestigious Manhattan School of Music where he developed his dynamic improvisational style through deep study of the jazz tradition.Raised in the Bay Area, Brahm has received awards from international, national, and statewide competitions and is an alumnus of the Vail Jazz summer workshop. In addition to gigging throughout New York City, Brahm has toured extensively throughout the United States and abroad. He has three upcoming tours in Europe scheduled for early and mid-2027, and 2028.
