Nick Hempton

Nick Hempton is an alto and tenor saxophonist who grew up in Sydney, Australia, learning jazz through local jam sessions rather than formal schooling and playing R&B and ska along the way. He moved to New York City in 2004 and from 2005 led the Nick Hempton Band, a fixture on the city's club scene. His playing draws on the swinging straight-ahead tradition of saxophonists such as Dexter Gordon, Sonny Stitt, and Cannonball Adderley. He recorded several albums for Posi-Tone Records, including The Business (2011) and Odd Man Out (2013), and later turned to a classic organ-band format on Night Owl (2018) and Slick (2021), both featuring guitarist Peter Bernstein.
