Alden Hellmuth is a saxophonist, composer, and improviser based in New York City. A graduate of the Herbie Hancock Institute, she received the 2025 German Jazz Prize for Debut Album of the Year (International) for her album Good Intentions (Fresh Sound Records) and has performed internationally at major venues and festivals including the NYC Winter Jazz Festival, Hollywood Bowl and Blue Note Jazz Festival, International Jazz Day (Morocco and Abu Dhabi), The Jazz Gallery, and Blue Note NYC. Alden has been recognized with numerous honors, including New Music USA’s Next Jazz Legacy (2026), Chamber Music America’s Performance Plus Grant (2025), ASCAP’s Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award (2024), and the Focusyear Fellowship (2021-22). As an artist, Alden seeks expression through freedom, intuition, and a deep commitment to her craft.
She'll be presenting music from her newest project, Tether, set to be released June 26th with Berlin-based record label Leiter Verlag, with NYC band Yvonne Rogers on piano, Timothy Angulo on drums, and Phil Donkin on bass.
Alden Hellmuth’s Tether is a quartet that leans hard into density, motion, and low-end gravity. Developed during her time in Los Angeles, the project explores a striking array of moods, tones, and textures with intensity and unmistakable momentum. With her "challenging and evocative" (Jazz Times) compositional vision and a sharp improvisational language, Hellmuth has carefully and creatively crafted a new sonic realm using the distinct voices in her band. The recorded work, Hellmuth's sophomore release, features Los Angeles bassists Logan Kane and Miller Wrenn, acclaimed drummer Justin Brown, and appearances by pianist Paul Cornish and trumpeter Yakiv Tsvietinskyi. Out June 26th on Berlin-based label Leiter, Tether is a bold statement of intent.
