Tomorrow’s Warriors presents London based alto saxophonist *Mali Sheard *as she leads her new quintet for the first Warriors gig at Karamel for 2023.

As a musician Mali draws her inspiration from the great alto players like Phil Woods, Paul Desmond and Cannonball Adderley and her song writing compositions reference a broad spectrum from the Great American Songbook through to elements of traditional folk music.

With a repertoire of her own material and standards, Mali is an artist to watch and has already played Ronnie Scott’s, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Pizza Express Live Soho, Foyles Bookshop and the prestigious Dizzy’s Club at the Lincoln Centre in New York.

Band Line-Up: Mali Sheard-alto; Keira Chakraborty- flute; Kyle Osborne- piano; Luke McCarthy- drums; George Balmont- bass;
