Karen began playing the accordion by chance at the age of seven. Later she learnt to play clarinet and saxophone and consequently has had an unusual career encompassing many different genres. She was drawn back to the accordion and particularly to jazz when she was invited to join Make Westbrook’s big band.
Other jazz credits include Tim Garland’s Lammas, the Phil Robson Octet, Steve Arguelles, Tina May, Nikki Iles and Martin Taylor’s ‘Spirit of Django’ with Guy Barker’s jazz orchestra . A recent highlight was playing at Ronnie Scotts in Maria Schneider’s Big Band.
“Street proves herself to be a thoughtful but vigorous soloist, intelligently exploiting the considerable textural possibilities of the instrument with great aplomb’”-Chris Parker
