One of the most in-demand and versatile saxophonists on the British jazz scene, known for her stunning range and technical brilliance, brings her powerhouse quartet to the stage. With an ability to effortlessly move between hard bop, contemporary jazz, and more experimental styles, she has garnered a reputation for being both a virtuosic soloist and a sensitive ensemble player. Her captivating sound, full of warmth and intensity, has made her a staple in jazz venues across the UK and beyond.
Joining her is Wakefield favourite Dave Newton on piano, a musician of remarkable skill and sensitivity whose fluid, expressive playing has earned him multiple awards and accolades throughout his career. Newton, known for his lyrical touch and deep understanding of jazz harmony, brings a seasoned elegance to the quartet, creating the perfect counterpoint to the saxophonist's fiery improvisations. Their musical chemistry is palpable, weaving through complex melodies and lush harmonies with ease and creativity.
Supported by a top-tier rhythm section, the quartet blends tradition with modernity, offering audiences a diverse and dynamic repertoire. From high-energy, fast-paced numbers to more introspective, soulful ballads, this performance promises to be a masterclass in jazz musicianship, showcasing the saxophonist's versatility alongside Newton’s sublime pianism. Together, they create a captivating and immersive live experience, highlighting the best of contemporary British jazz.
